Something worth testing might be to move the envelope_sender_header setting
out of spam.assassin.prefs.conf and into local.cf.

It could be that some of the new spamd semantics that reset the user_prefs
after each message might be tripping up MailScanner. If it happened,the
result would be that a given MailScanner child only uses the
spam.assassin.prefs.conf for the first message it handles, then reverts to
local.cf only until it was killed and respawned.
