There's a configuration variable called USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER which controls this; the default is now to use From: followed by Sender: then the envelope sender.
That sounds good. I have a related question that perhaps someone on this list can answer. Can the Sender: field be changed by sendmail configuration? For instance would masquerading ever effect this field or is changing the Sender: field verboten?
