RTFM: you need to put the ':' after a $header_ item:

$header_sender:

But why don't you use the variable $sender_address which contains the
envelope sender?

Also, fail does not need the curly braces. So, your string should read:

${lookup{$header_sender:}lsearch{$home/sender.map}{$value}fail}

Not tested, but it should be ok.
