· Vars $from/$realname fail in send-hooks.
· "my_hdr From:" fails in bounces, and breaks $reverse_name feature.
My advice: Use $from as default, also use $from in any sort of
dynamic configurations (macros, folder-hooks, etc...), and only if
needed use "my_hdr From:" as an override in send-hooks (with a "unmy_hdr
From:" as default send-hook).
