There does seem to be a lot of confusion caused by the different sender_*
parameters, with their varying formats and effects. I think this has a lot to
do with the overloading of the word "sender", to indicate variously the sending
host and the sending RFC 822 address ("envelope sender", a.k.a. "return path").
The fact that "sender_reject" refers to the latter isn't obvious to those
who have not R'dTFM with due diligence. The alphabetical list in section 10
becomes very much not ordered by function, with many cross-references.
