If you want to remove "Sender:" all-together, try adding "headers_remove =
sender" to your remote_smtp transport. Something like this (using
exim4)...

begin transports

remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
headers_remove = sender
connect_timeout = 1m

------------
Alternatively you could have the Sender header rewritten to match the
return address. I *think* this should work, though I haven't tested it...

begin rewrite

*          $reply_address         s
