Has this been resolved? I'm getting errors on sending, stating that I don't have permission to send from that domain. I have also changed the suggested files (repository.properties and web-client-config.xml). Still no luck.

I have the same problem.
Using Alfrecso Labs 3.0 Stable and can't change the from-email-address.
It always shows the alfresco@alfresco.org address. In the web-client-config-custom file I have tried to overriding the from-email-address and for my custom-repository.properties the mail.from.defalut is overriden.
Even if I config within the core repository.properties and within the web-client-config.xml the from address will still be alfresco@alfresco.org.

This behavior is appearing both when to apply a rule on a space (notify space users on inbound for example) or when I Run action Send email to specified users.
When I execute my javascript with mail.parameters.from="mymail@mail.com" the from adress is set properly (with my custom address and not alfresco@alfresco.org).

Is the alfrecso@alfresco.org hard coded somewhere? Or have I missunderstod something with the configurations?

Thanks!

Posted long time ago but since I had the same problem and no one else posted a solution, I'm happy to share the most simple solution ever (no need to change property or xml files). Just change the default email of the default admin user to something you want to have email sent from. Go to admin console > manage system users > edit admin user and modify email
