Doesn't something like

*@*    $h_from:   s


work? (Of course, a check that $h_from isn't empty before using it would
be more robust.)

However, note that the RFCs state that it is redundant to have both a
Sender: and a From: field with the same contents. The whole point of
having Sender: is for cases when it is *not* the same as From:.
Consequently, perhaps you should consider just deleting the Sender:
header instead. Look at headers_remove in the generic transports options
(chapter 15).
