Note that there's a more recent version of the patch:

http://bugzilla.ximian.com/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=1318

attached to bug 18382 that gives a GUI for this instead of an env var.
[Note that this patch is against the CVS version of late January; it may
not patch cleanly today.  But it's pretty straightforward.]

Nope.  It's hardcoded in the standard source.

You could write a little script that called sendmail with the options
you wanted, and hack evolution (or use the above patch) to call that, I
suppose.
