The expansion of ${address:$h_from:} will give you what you are
looking for. If you want it in all lower-case, you could even do
${lc:${address:$h_from:}}

Now, this assumes that there is only a single address in the From:
header, which is 99.9% of the time. Haven't tested it on what
happens with multiple addresses in the header.
