This works for me:

1) have the user log into openwebmail
2) click on 'User Preferences'
3) click on 'Edit personal email addresses'
4) fill in the 'real name' (John User) and 'Email Address'
(John_U@xxxxxxxxxx)
5) click the 'add' button
6) click 'Back to user preferences'
7) in the 'From:' drop down select the new entry from the list.
8) click the 'Save' button

I don't think this can be done globally, just sent a new user the
instructions or after you set up a new user, you can do it for them.
