Ohhh: I did never define the ANSENDER with quotes; this was an error in
the mail which I sent. Sorry.

I tried the ABSENDER macro without including quotes but the error remains.
The Reply-To header was not added if it is defined via *lookup* (even
if I write the headers_add without the ABSENDER macro I get the error!)

(I'm ussing version 1.90)

I add as attachment the full configure file which produces the error.

# This file is divided into several parts, all but the last of which are

# any data for it. This sets local_domains to an empty string, which is not
# the same as not mentioning it at all. An empty string specifies that there

# to.) If the pipe generates any standard output, it is returned to the sender
# of the message as a delivery error. Set return_fail_output instead if you
# want this to happen only when the pipe fails to complete normally.

# This transport is used for handling file addresses generated by alias

# as a directory name rather than a file name. Each message is then delivered
# to a unique file in the directory. If instead you want all such deliveries to
# be in the "maildir" format that is used by some other mail software,
# uncomment the final option below. If this is done, the directory specified
# in the .forward or alias file is the base maildir directory.
#
# Should you want to be able to specify either maildir or non-maildir
# directory-style deliveries, then you must set up yet another transport,
# called address_directory2. This is used if the path ends in "//" so should
# be the one used for maildir, as the double slash suggests another level
# of directory. In the absence of address_directory2, paths ending in //
# are passed to address_directory.
