The "From:" header has no bearing on the return path of email,
which comes from the message envelope. You can set with the
"-f sender" option of sendmail(1).

the fate of the probe report is in your logs. If your system is
configured to relay all mail to a smarthost, then that's where
the notice would have been routed to. Actual delivery requires
a working configuration.
If you configure a domain for local delivery, and use an address
in that domain as the envelope sender, then probe status reports
will be delivered locally.
mydestination = localhost.local
$ sendmail -f root@localhost.local -bv postmaster@some.where
