This is realy an intersting question, so I've spent my evening search
sendmail book (O`reilly) for the answer and I'm sorry to say i didn't
find an answer. I think what is happening is the header first written
then the delivery agent get into work to modify the $u with the aliases
file (F=A).
If you find any other answer (what did the guys at comp.mail.sendmail said ?)
please let me know.
