 When a user passes a mail address we then assume their intend is to make
 sure te receiver receives the message from that mail address.

 contain Wordpress@ we set the Sender.

 So, you're saying, if I have "allow anyone to register" turned on, and my
 site is hosted on a cPanel hosting service, WordPress should send the
 cPanel hosting login details (less password) to anyone who registers on
 the site?   That doesn't sound like a good idea at all. The "WordPress@"
 emails are the ones that most need to have the Sender set, and that needs
 to apply to the "Envelope-to:" header, the "Sender:"/"X-Sender:" header
 and especially for the "-f{user}@{domain}" string passed to the mail() PHP
 function.
