Beside modifying the Busybox binary, you can create a script file
for sendmail:

#!/bin/sh
exec /bin/busybox sendmail -f ... "$@"

install this script as your sendmail and make it executable
(chmod +x). Then cron shall pickup this script for sendmail and
the script will add the missing information.
