Workaround:

Go to your Cognos-Folder cognos\c8\configuration and open the cogstartup.xml

Locate section


<!-- DefaultSender: Specifies the email address of the sender. -->
<!-- This setting specifies the email address of the ‘sender’ of outgoing messages. Use
a valid email address. -->
<crn:parameter name=“DefaultSender”>
<crn:value xsi:type=“xsd:string”>notifications@cognos.com</crn:value>
</crn:parameter>


Change
<crn:parameter name=“DefaultSender”>
to
<crn:parameter name=“defaultSender”>

and enter your choice of Sender in
<crn:value xsi:type=“xsd:string”>yoursender@yourcompany.com</crn:value>


Now your emails are sent from this adress.
