: envelope-sender address remains unchanged and is not repointed to you as

Again, $SENDER may be outside your domain, so you have to be using an MTA
that will tolerate a fully qualified email address as the argument to the -f
option.  Some will allow only a local part there.  You might get better
results using rmail (which normally preserves the envelope sender of the
message fed to it) instead of the MTA.
