 By itself, it does nothing of the sort. However, it passes the message
 to Sendmail, which may be set up to zap Sender: or something.

 Can you produce (to the list please, and you don't need to Cc: me
 because I read the list) a log file entry showing what Procmail says
 is going on?
 
 See also <http://www.iki.fi/era/mail/procmail-debug.html> (which is
 admittedly technical) and <http://www.iki.fi/era/procmail/mini-faq.html>

 :-) That doesn't help very much.
