I think their clients are behaving badly. Sender isn't supposed to take
precedence over From in this way.

I don't suppose you can get their clients fixed?
BTW, you could improve the look of that line. When Exim generates
[Resent-]Sender: it fishes the user's name out of the passwd file. If
that field contains other things, as yours seems to (the multiple,,,,,)
you can get Exim to extract from it by setting the gecos_pattern and
gecos_name fields. For example, to use everything up to the first comma:
gecos_pattern = "([^,]*)"
gecos_name = $1
