Anita,
    I had to deal with this a while back, for a different reason.
As dman mentioned, the "Sender" header isn't required, though some mail
servers might check to make sure that it's valid, if the header exists.


    My solution was to add "headers_remove = Sender" in my
"remote_smtp" transport, so that I have this:


# This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections.
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
headers_remove = Sender

    This tells Exim to strip out the "Sender" header before sending
the mail out. This resolved the situation for me at least.
