If they went that far (to examine the email) you would think they 
could look at the FROM and the source and determine the FROM was a 
fake.

I do occasionally send email from a different domain than the domain 
of the FROM so some of my email may seem to have a fake FROM.  I would
not be too concerned if they did not send a delivery failure notice 
because of the apparent fake FROM, it is the chance I take.
