In lieu of documentation, here are some example valid "email_from" values:

$config['email_from'] = 'email@example.com';
$config['email_from'] = '<email@example.com>';
$config['email_from'] = 'My Email <email@example.com>';
$config['email_from'] = '"My Email" <email@example.com>';
$config['email_from'] = "'My Email' <email@example.com>";

You must ALWAYS supply a properly formatted email address.  The following are INVALID values:

$config['email_from'] = 'example.com';
$config['email_from'] = 'My Team <example.com>';
$config['email_from'] = 'My Team';
