>>>>> "PA" == Per Abrahamsen <abraham@dina.kvl.dk> writes:

PA> From: The prefered mail address of the person who wrote the message.

No, From is the canonical mailbox of the originator (author) of the
message.  Regardless of his preferences, From should contain a canonical
host name for his host or his domain's mail hub.  If his "prefered" mailbox
is something other than this, then he should use a Reply-To.

PA> Sender: The address of the mailbox from where the message originates,
PA> 	if this is different from the "From: " address.

More correctly, Sender is the mailbox of the agent responsible for
submitting the message to the network if it is someone (or something) other
than the Originator.

PA> Reply-To: The mail address where you want replies to this particular
PA> 	  message to go, if not to the "From: " address.

Correct.
