I never implied that you said that.  *I* said it, and I mean it.  But that's 
irrelevant here.  What's relevant is that Phillip Hutchings indirectly gave to *you* 
the advice[1] to just rely on the "From:" header as opposed to the "From:" in 
combination with the "Sender:" header (as I suggested).  And I replied to *him* (not 
to you) that giving such advice was bad IMO.

Add the "Sender:" header *from what*?  Out of thin air?  Or from a validated envelope 
sender?

It's in the RPLINE or SENDER environment variables.  You can also filter your messages 
through `preline` before calling maildrop, which adds various headers such as the 
"Return-Path:" header with the envelope sender address.  In your dot-courier file (or 
database delivery instruction) just write:

  | preline maildrop

"People who want this sort of control are more likely to be worried 
about the From: header, as that's what shows to the receivers of the 
e-mails."
