On the target address that used to fail using your initial method, or
both?
One of the upsides to using the -f param method is that bounces are likely
to be returned to the nominated -f address whereas using your initial
method they may well have just gone to the apache account. If mail to
that apache account wasn't been set to /dev/null see if your initial
method was always bouncing mail to that address as well. If so, I suspect
it's a host/DNS problem between your PHP server and that target server.
