Change phpmailer's FROM address

How is phpmailer's FROM address changed? I expected the following to work, however, all emails sent use the the send from email address set by the first occurrence of SetFrom().

$mail = new myPHPMailer(true);
$mail->SMTPDebug=2;

$mail->Subject = "My Subject";
$mail->MsgHTML('My Message');
$mail->AddReplyTo('[email protected]');

$mail->ClearAllRecipients();
$mail->SetFrom('[email protected]');
$mail->AddAddress("[email protected]");
$mail->Send();

$mail->ClearAllRecipients();
$mail->SetFrom('[email protected]');  //Does not update FROM address!
$mail->AddAddress("[email protected]");
$mail->Send();

PS. Why I wish to do this? I have found that some companies set up their e-mail routers to deny all incoming external emails which have a sender email top level domain the same as their own.

The property Sender is set once when calling the method setFrom. There is no method to individually set Sender. However you can use 

$mail->Sender = <newvaluehere>;

or

$mail->set('Sender', <NEWVALUEHERE>);

Also I'd like to advice against using this library, it's hardly consistent nor does it seem production ready. You might consider a proven package like swiftmailer.

Reason why this class does not seem production ready

/**
 * Set or reset instance properties.
 * You should avoid this function - it's more verbose, less efficient, more error-prone and
 * harder to debug than setting properties directly.
 * Usage Example:
 * `$mail->set('SMTPSecure', 'tls');`
 *   is the same as:
 * `$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';`
 * @access public
 * @param string $name The property name to set
 * @param mixed $value The value to set the property to
 * @return boolean
 * @TODO Should this not be using the __set() magic function?
