See "10.13 Address lists" in spec.txt.

Don't mix up the "Sender:"-header line and the Envelope-from (the
sender of a message). www-data needs to be able to send mail with a
different Envelope-from.

Quoting spec.txt 13.22:
    The "untrusted_set_sender" option allows you to permit untrusted users to
    set other envelope sender addresses in a controlled way. When it is set,
    untrusted users are allowed to set envelope sender addresses that match
    any of the patterns in the list.


so the latter is correct. (Two examples follow immediately in spec.txt)
