Ok, believe it or not, out of all that typing [deleted], this was
the clue I needed. As stated earlier I'm upgrading from a (rather
old) version of sendmail. Believe it or not, in the good old days,
aliases of the form:
list: "|/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -fowner-list list-out"
were the standard method of re-writing the envelope from address.
There are plenty of other dinosaurs here that will back me up on
this. What I was missing is that recent versions of sendmail will
do this for you, without the pipe to sendmail -f , merely due to
the presence of an 'owner-list' alias. Old dog. New trick. Catching
on slowly.

Turns out wrapper doesn't, but resend does strip "From " headers.
