Never assume -- debug! Output to a log file instead of sendmail and use
'od' to look at the results, and see if it's still present, and
that'll tell you if it's sendmail or not. If it's sendmail, figure out
*why* it's sendmail, and solve the problem there, since that's where
the bug is. If not, try to reproduce the bug in as small a PHP program
as possible, to see if it's php or uw-imap or something in your code.
Maybe try a different MTA (say, ssmtp, nice and small) and see if the
condition reoccurs.
