The * headers are old ones which have been discarded, but which are
retained in the spool file for debugging purposes.

It should qualify sender addresses with $qualify_domain.

Yes, Exim will remove Sender headers from any locally generated message
unless it comes from a trusted user who sets a sender with the -f option
(or via a "From " header). Then, if it finds that the From: header
doesn't match the actual sender, it will generate a new Sender: header.
At least, that is how is it supposed to work. Let me know if it isn't
doing that!
