Sender field must include a mail reachable real address. It is used when mailbox of From field is not senders real address or it contains multiple mailboxes. Even if user@hostname combination least likely to be customized/faked, system-name is similar. You can set to variable `system-name'. I think system-name and mail-host-address is different concept. In some environment, (system-name) does not return reachable address, in particular a machine is in closed network (in fire wall), dial up environment or non-internet protocols. (system-name) and system-name returns machine address, mail-host-address returns domain of mail address. In major case, they may be same or (system-name) and system-name may be a mail reachable. But I think we distinguish them. And Sender field must be real mail address.
