You don't mention what version of IMP you're using, so I'll guess 2.2:

// Should we include the contents of imp/config/header.txt in the
// headers of every message sent?
$default->append_header = true;

// Should we append the contents of imp/config/trailer.txt to the end
// of every message sent?
$default->append_trailer = false;

Those have nothing to do with the From: address at all. But IMP
doesn't know anything about LDAP authentication -- it only uses
IMAP. Look at $default->custom_from_hook and the example
imp_expand_fromaddress in defaults.php3.dist.
