Some possible solutions:

#1
set from = `whoami`@domain.com             # with backticks


#2
set from = $u...@domain.com              # with environmental variables
set from = $logn...@domain.com


#3
set my_user = `whoami`                     # combination
set from = $my_u...@domain.com


Use additional double quotes ("bla bla") if some element has spaces
or other problematic characters.
