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 is a default configuration file which will operate correctly in
# uncomplicated installations. Please see the manual for a complete list
# of all the runtime configuration options that can be included in a
# configuration file.
# This file is divided into several parts, all but the last of which are
# terminated by a line containing the word "end". The parts must appear
# in the correct order, and all must be present (even if some of them are
# in fact empty). Blank lines, and lines starting with # are ignored.

# here. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by
# default. See the receiver_unqualified_{hosts,nets} options if you want
# to permit unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is
# not set, the primary_hostname value is used for qualification.

# If you want unqualified recipient addresses to be qualified with a different

# to do any local deliveries, uncomment the following line, but do not supply
# 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

# 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
