How would the phisher collect the password info from their target using a forged sender address?

Suggestion: ignore the sender address if there is a Reply-To: header or if there is an email address in the body of the message. There might need to be some logic around detecting the contact address in the message body - there could be garbage addresses inserted to get the phishtrap to ignore the sender address...
