POSTFIX does not limit the use of the -f option.

As shown before, the code for -f is identical, line by line,
to the code for -r'

        case 'f':
            sender = optarg;
            break;
        ...
        case 'r':                               /* obsoleted by -f */
            sender = optarg;
            break;

Please stop spreading false rumors or else provide actual evidence
that the two options produce different results with POSTFIX.

There is already enough bad information on the Internet, please do
not drag down this mailing list too with inaccurate and unsupported
claims.
