If you are going to change the options to sendmail you should do this
where you call sendmail from (i.e. in your script).
However I think you need to debug your script itself not the sendmail
command, since it is the script that is passing invalid input to the
sendmail command.
Try capturing that input to a file when cron runs the job and examine it.
