 > That post is a few years old so I can't be certain it's still accurate
 today, but it does seem to suggest that DomainFactory likes putting the
 `-f` option in their `sendmail_path` value.

 I'm the reddit user who initially posted this and I can confirm that this
 is still what Domainfactory does, at least on our server, which is causing
 the issue.
