Description:
------------
I'm not sure whether this is a sendmail or a PHP bug, but since PHP 5 my scripts fail where I use a 5'th argument like
"-f George Bush <george@oil.com>" (pardon my politics :-) ) where "oil.com" would be my domain. 
I get errors now that Bush@oil.com is not a valid username.
In PHP 4.2.3 this used to work.

When I use "-f george@oil.com", everything is ok.

I do not use safe mode, nor any settings in php.ini.

Reproduce code:
---------------
mail( "me@where_ever.org", "Vote me!", "said it...",
        "From: George Bush <george@oil.com>\r\n",
        "-f George Bush <george@oil.com>" );


Expected result:
----------------
A mail with in the header:
Return-path: George Bush <george@oil.com>

Actual result:
--------------
In my sendmail log:

Bush@oil.com is an unknown user.

Did you change the user your web server is running as?  If so, you have to add this new user to sendmail's list of trusted users.  Only a trusted user is allowed to set a -f

No bug here, you can not use -f to set a "realname", only an email address without spaces.
