Email pulse send from the wrong email address

Sending out an pulse via email in the setting I needed to set SMTP USERNAME and FROM ADDRESS, where the from address is an alias of the smtp username. When I send the pulse or a test email, I receive it from the email address set in SMTP USERNAME and not from the FROM ADDRESS. Did anyone experience this before? Is this a Metabase bug or a set up problem on my site?
Thanks!
