It's been awhile since I deal with sendmail, and I'm sort of
half-guessing here...

I think that "t" is the return path (envelope sender).

And here it's a full address.

Well, for one, you could use a script as Mutt's $sendmail to capture a
test email into a file, and then use that to play around with sending it
with sendmail from the command line. The main advantage you can do with
this is test out the use of the -fuser@host option. Of course, you
don't need a real email from Mutt for this, but it's perhaps easier if
you've not used to creating emails with a text editor... And it would
make sure the other headers are "authentic".
If it's not the envelope sender, then you have to look up in the
sendmail manual what that field is, find where it's getting set, and go
from there..
