 «From Address»." will contain the valid username of that F5 bigip device. You can use "root" for this. 

When BigIP F5 will send the email it will automatically add the email "from" field as 

root@<Host Name of bigIP device>.com

will it show the currently logged in user or will it only show whatever i type in the "«From Address»" field?

What if a different user is logged in? will it show his/her username?
