How to set the FROM clause of an Email Notification to a given user?

I am trying to configure an email notification so that it appears to be coming from an email address of one of our users. 

The issue with that when I go under "Advanced Options", the dropdown presented does not contain the email address of the user I would like to use. 

I read this article: http://help.quickbase.com/user-assistance/company_email_domain.html
I think the problem is that the email address of the user I want to add in the "FROM Address" is not registered. 

Is there anyway I can get around this?

    Can you make that user have access to the app so that it becomes a valid choice?  Or you do not want to pay a license for that email address.  I'm pretty sure that the FROM has to be from a user so that Quick Base knows that you are not generating spam emails from a fake email address.

      How exactly do I give a user access to that app? The user I want is already listed in the users list in the table I want to send a notification form.

      Did you set the Notification to trigger for only single record changes?

      Assuming so, then how about adding a formula user field to the table with a formula

      ToUser("john.smith@mycompany.com")

      That field will then be a choice for the FROM.

      I've added a field User-Formula with the value 'ToUser("john.smith@mycompany.com")' in the same table with the Email notification. However, it still did not show up in the FROM dropdown.
