That's very strange. $envelope_from shouldn't care how the From address
came to be what it is, it should just grab it from the email at sending
time (hence, it will for example use some manually-given address). And
$from certainly shouldn't care about $envelope_from at all.
So the behaviour you're seeing certainly isn't what I would expect. I
don't have the time right now to see if I can duplicate it...
Since you presumably don't need $reverse_name, you could go with using
my_hdr From: Your Name <your@address>
instead of just specifying $from. This ought to work for sure, and at
least you can experiment with it.

I think what you're doing so far is good. It shouldn't require anything
else except changing the From header and using $envelope_from (and
possibly also using different signature files etc.)

Reading the manual is probably more useful than just the man pages.
