This is classic spam using a fake from address. This is one of the  
serious problems with today's mail programs -- they don't show the  
path the message took. There is a design flaw in SMTP in that it  
doesn't require providing the envelope information though usually you  
can find it in the "received " field in the header. There are also  
variants such as fake bounces.

We do need  a better messaging system but that's another topic ...
