I don't know he means. If he just doesn't want to see this header,
he should use 'ignore'. One could also think of a procmail recipe to
filter out Sender: at delivery time, ie. at the end of the mail
transport chain.
To quote the RFC:
4.4.2. SENDER / RESENT-SENDER
This field contains the authenticated identity of the AGENT
(person, system or process) that sends the message. It is
intended for use when the sender is not the author of the mes-
sage, or to indicate who among a group of authors actually
sent the message. If the contents of the "Sender" field would
be completely redundant with the "From" field, then the
"Sender" field need not be present and its use is discouraged
(though still legal). In particular, the "Sender" field MUST
be present if it is NOT the same as the "From" Field.
