While investigating how I might do this I realized that IMP (2.2.7 here) is
calling exim twice since it gets a failure code the first time. The first call
is with -f and without -t; the second call was with -t and without -f. I added
-f to the second invocation of sendmail and now all three bounce messages are
being sent to the correct From: address. Sorry for the noise.
