If I change to this...:

//You can allow or disallow users from changing the FROM email address by switching this to 0 for no or 1 for yes
$allowfromchange = "1";

...the hack works perfectly and my user name shows up in the test email "From" box, and is also in the "Reply To" box.
Which is perfect, except I do not want the other users to have the ability to change the "From" to an admin or mods nick and pass off the email as coming from someoene else.
I also do not want the users to have email being sent from "Unknown Sender" though.

If I switch it back to "0" however, I again get an email from "Unknown Sender" and the "Reply To" box is empty.

I know I can also change the third option to have myself as the only one allowed to change the "From" variable, however again, I don't want the other user's having emails sent from "Unknown Sender's".

Anybody have any ideas?
I really like this hack, but need to configure it properly.

I was having the same issues as you with the UNKNOWN SENDER so i took a look around and may have got lucky.

around line 672(ish- ive hacked mine a lot at this stage )

 
elseif ($CMD=="send")
	{
	$head="From: $fr\n";

change to

elseif ($CMD=="send")
	{
	$loginmail=strtolower($bbuserinfo[username])."@yourdomain.com";
	$head="From: $loginmail\n";

This seemed to fix the issue of the senders name not showing up though im not sure if it had any adverse effect on things as i havent tested it enough yet.
I was busy working on automating each new user getting an e-mail account as soon as they log in and i have that sorted now as well (to a degree anyway)
