So, what exactly is the real underlying problem?
My problem is that I have several addresses, have to be mobile,
send mail via smtp relayhost w/o changing my postfix config all
the time etc. So this seemed to be a sensible solution to my
layman's understanding.

And what's the difference between your deprecated config and
set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -f my@address -oem -oi"
set use_envelope_from=no
(trying this with this here mail)
Mark: all addresses I use are valid and working.
