and just because it has that email as the from address, it probably isn't from them at all.

Remember, the only way to prevent people from sending fraudulent emails is by placing restrictions on mailservers. The most recent trojan/virus' actually create their own mailserver on a an infected users computer. So, armed with a list of people to send to and with fake names to send from, they spam the hell out of their list.

It's really nasty, but it's the way it is, currently.
