Exim: Remove "Sender" Header
I'd like to remove the "Sender" header that Exim adds automatically to some outgoing messages. Ideally, I'd like to remove it from all outgoing messages (from local users and SMTP auth)
I've added "local_from_check = false" near the top of the config file. I know that will only handle local users, but it's a start. It doesn't help (perhaps it's in the wrong place?)
I also added "headers_remove = sender:x-mailer" in the "dnslookup" routers section. That seems to remove the "X-Mailer" header properly, but not "Sender". I'm guessing that the "Sender" header is added later (maybe at transport?)
At this point, I'm stuck. Help!

I don't want to remove the "From:" header, just the "Sender:" header. If the Sender header is present, Outlook (and Notes and other mail clients) join the "From" and "Sender" when displaying an email to the user.
So, if Apache sends a mail from "sales@company.com", Exim adds a "sender" header to show that Apache was the real sender, and Outlook shows the message like this:
From: apache@webserver01.company
So, I want the "sender" header to go away. If I can also remove it from messages that come in via SMTP auth, I can remove this annoying message:
From: susan.smith@dallas.company
Sender is not required, and is usually not used.

Sorry, my confusion...
I think I (finally..) get what you mean. No ideas pop up immediately...

it is possible, it depends, on what kind of email system you are using, if it allows you customize the outgoing email header. some email systems allow you do that, such as the following system:
