Exim will remove a Sender: header line from a locally submitted message.
It will then add its own Sender: line if the From: line does not match
the caller, unless the caller is trusted, or no_header_from_check is set.
The envelope sender, however, is still forced to be the login id at the
qualify domain unless the caller is trusted.

For messages received from remote sources, none of this happens. Sender:
is left alone.
