  6.3.49.  from

  Type: e-mail address
  Default: ""

  When set, this variable contains a default from address.  It can be
  overridden using my_hdr (including from send-hooks) and
  `reverse_name''.

set realname="Thorsten Haude"
set [EMAIL PROTECTED]
set use_from
set envelope_from=yes

HTH,

Michael
