No, From is the canonical mailbox of the originator (author) of the
message.  Regardless of his preferences, From should contain a canonical
host name for his host or his domain's mail hub.  If his "prefered" mailbox
is something other than this, then he should use a Reply-To.

More correctly, Sender is the mailbox of the agent responsible for
submitting the message to the network if it is someone (or something) other
than the Originator.

Correct.
