Generally, spam is malformed, and MTA's try to compensate for unqualified
email addresses by filling in their own dowmain to compensate for the lack
of qualification.

I did get a spam only today that used the same from and to address, BTW.
Just a question of marking the slots to be filled in of course, it is all
just text.. SPamcop isn't so easily fooled, of course, and will find the
culprit easily and efficiently, then informs their ISPs.
