Here's the text of the bounced message:

It apparently wants me to add an "Sender" header.  Mutt doesn't do it.
Exim always did it for me, using the form:

[Account Full Name] <email from /etc/email-addresses matching account>

I never liked that.  I need to tell postfix something to say as 
"Sender".  How?
