 Replying to [comment:46 SirLouen]:

 > If the user has the `sendmail_from` set in his `php.ini`, PHPMailer
 should overwrite it. But if they are forcing the `-f` in the
 `sendmail_path` this is a complete misconfiguration of the server (because
 for this purpose, there is a `sendmail_from`).

 `sendmail_from` is a Windows only configuration option. Hence the need to
 add `-f` to the sendmail path in Linux.
