From man procmail:

       -f fromwhom
            Causes  procmail  to  regenerate  the  leading  `From  ' line with
            fromwhom as the sender (instead of -f one could use the  alternate
            and  obsolete  -r).   If fromwhom consists merely of a single `-',
            then procmail will only update the timestamp on the `From  '  line
            (if present, if not, it will generate a new one).
