I originally did this, but I've now made in configurable with an (optional)
"-t" parameter to smtp_rcv.
So, with sendmail, you can change something like this in your mailer
definition:
Mpbbs, P=/usr/local/sbin/smtp_rcv, F=lFDMn, S=10/30, R=40,
A=smtp_rcv $f $u $u@$h
to
Mpbbs, P=/usr/local/sbin/smtp_rcv, F=lFDMn, S=10/30, R=40,
A=smtp_rcv -t $f $u $u@$h

and smtp_rcv will not generate the T: lines (after you restart sendmail :-).

Here are my patches: (against 0.3.1) - I hope they are of interest.
