Authentication-Warning: set sender using -f problem

Hi,

I have search this forum and did not find anything related to this issue, so I am writing to hope someone will point me to the problem area.

I am having this problem for awhile and I am not sure how to solve it. It doesn't happen very often.

I read somewhere that I need the trusted-users file with the valid users id, which I had. UserA is inside trusted-users.

Scenario:
Sender send email to userA.
UserA had a autoreply set, but was somehow set the sender to UserB instead of UserA (See below log)

User A - .forward
*****************
\UserA
"|/etc/usermin/forward/autoreply.pl /home/userA/autoreply.txt UserA"

Email Log

Why am I getting this and how do I solve it?

Thanks.

I am using slackware 12.2, kernel 2.6.27.7-smp, sendmail v8.14.3
