What did Postfix log about that? "didn't work" is not very helpful. (^-^) The logs show exactly what happened.
Here are two commands and all the log entries that result from them. Note that I used a comcast address instead of an acm.org address as the sender the second time. It did not help.
suillus:~ # sendmail -F abrahams@acm.org abrahams@acm.org ok, again . suillus:~ # sendmail -F pwabrahams@comcast.net pwabrahams@comcast.net test it once more.

From "man sendmail": -F full_name Set the sender full name. This overrides the NAME environment variable, and is used only with messages that have no From: mesâ sage header. -f sender Set the envelope sender address. This is the address where delivery problems are sent to. With Postfix versions before 2.1, the Errors-To: message header overrides the error return address. You need to set the envelope address. sendmail -f abrahams@acm.org abrahams@acm.org Sandy -- List replies only please!
