Incorrect.
Sendmail(1) accepts and sends RFC5322-compliant messages; it does not
"invent" data that was not present.
The From: header is either
A) already present in the submitted RFC5322-compliant message, or
B) provided on the sendmail(1) commandline with the -F flag, or
C) taken from the NAME environment variable, or
D) taken from the envelope sender provided with the -f flag if none
of the above apply.
http://www.postfix.org/sendmail.1.html
but Sendmail (Sendmail Consortium) sends message from user by RFC
implementation (the fullname is before the address with angle bracket).
Can postfix developers do rewrite engine (cleanup_message.c and other) for RFC
implementation?
What does sendmail(1) have to do with cleanup(8) ?
Postfix is an MTA, it does not rewrite mail unless you specifically tell
it to.
If your client submits mail with the legacy form of the From: header,
fix the client.
