I have agreed on this, I'm tired of typing because the only real last call
will be when I retire and don't give a shit, but the Sender header is
just plain bad. The injector can tell if an address is valid, but not if
it's invalid, so if "From" is verified correct "Sender" is not needed,
and if needed is not possible.
Others may now repeat their arguments at this time.
