If I read the dovecot docs correctly, lda will use the From: header if
present and no -f <sender address> is given:
"-f <address>: Envelope sender address. If not specified and message
data begins with a valid mbox-style “From ” line, the address is taken
from it."
(
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/protocols/lda/)
However, pidginhole provides extensive sieve language support and you
can use almost any piece of an email to move, copy, filter, forward,
autoreply, etc.

My guess is: Just removing the -f $sender_address just might change mail
processing for some people.
