Odd. *All* replies sent by autoreply are supposed to have an envelope
sender of <>. There is no mechanism in the code for setting anything else.

Even odder. I copied your director and transport exactly and when I sent
a message to "unknown@localhost", I got back

and no Sender header. This was all done on one machine with a local delivery.
I guess the way to find out what it is doing on your system is to run

exim -d9 nobody@localhost

.

and see what the debugging output tells us.

There isn't any way to do this. The autoreply transport always creates
one for the message it sends. In fact, the headers add and remove stuff,
if set for autoreply, apply to the copy of the original message that it
includes.
