You can define the SMTP_FROM rc.conf variable to change that IIRC.

Using the Network tab, near the bottom, click ...
--
Advanced Configuration:

User System Variables: {Edit User Variables}

then define something like:

SMTP_FROM="bi...@wr..."

Apply the change by clicking ... {Reload/Restart} [Restart SMTP Mail] _x_ Confirm
