I know there is a way to tell fetchmail not to do that. A setting
in the .fetchmailrc will do to allow many, if not all, of these
things you are asking about. Have you read `man fetchmail'?
I recently did something in fetchmail to turn off its adding a
new top Received: header, for example; though I don't use fetchmail
much and don't remember the details now.

You've added some needs since your original message. There is an
example rcfile and suggested usage and testing for the first request
at:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/procmail/2003-02/msg00544.html
It does not deal with the two requirements mentioned here. Those
should be relatively easy to add. In that rcfile, before the first
recipe that matches Return-Path, add a similar recipe that does
the same with Sender:, and another that tests for From: if Sender:
doesn't exist. I suppose you can then get rid of the Return-Path:
recipe or make it contingent on these two new ones failing. Whichever
of those addresses exists replaces $RETURNPATH where it's added to
the variable $ENVELOPE. Because the Return-Path: contains a simple
<user(_at_)domain(_dot_)tld> and the From: header likely contains more than
that,
you'll have to take some additional care to extract just that part
from the From: header. The same may apply to Sender:.
BTW, I just noticed a typo in the message referred to above. There is
an extra :0 which should be obvious, and should be removed.
You can easily grab only the address from From: with formail.
(.probmail is a file of problematic spam I have lying around.)
9:51pm [~/Mail] 367[0]> formail -rtz -xTo: -s < .probmail

ts(_at_)z2p(_dot_)net
GetCozy(_at_)cozybet(_dot_)com
mary(_at_)theproductguys(_dot_)com
So in your recipe, you can just use
FROMADDY = `formail -rtz -xTo:`
