MIMEDefang sets $Sender to the *envelope* sender; that is, the
address passed in the "MAIL FROM:" SMTP command. This value may
not be the same as in the From: header.
It's easy to fake the MAIL FROM: sender address. It's also easy to
fake the From: e-mail header. Neither should be trusted, and they
don't necessarily agree.
