That's good news.  There's no need to worry about what the From: field says at all,
all that matters is automated detection of scams.

Since phishers don't send messages with "Sender" such a change would have no immediate
negative consequences.  Real lists can DKIM sign their outbound messages and get a
decent reputation, while unsigned or forged "Sender" headers can aggressively filtered.

The user can continue to see the bare "From:" header, or "on behalf of" ala Outlook as
deemed most appropriate by the MUA designer and user preference.
