my_hdr From is usually used with hooks when you need to change the
address conditionally. I think the canonical way to set your address
would be

set realname="Your Name"
set from="[email protected]"

You can also add
set use_envelope_from

to make sure that value is used for the envelope-sender as well as the
header sender.
