Hey Jan! The SMTP access data and the "from" field comes from the ConfigigurationService directly, so you can't overwrite that from the Workflows: https://github.com/apache/oozie/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/oozie/action/email/EmailActionExecutor.java#L185-L188
I don't see any reason why we couldn't add the possibility to set the "from" address as well in the emailAction just like it's possible to set the "cc" and the "bcc" fields. Feel free to file a Jira for this.
