There are two 'From' headers.  The one that mailling lists and the like
care about is the 'From ' (no colon) at the very top.  This is created by
your MTA and generally contains the FQDN of the originating server.  The
one you are talking about is the "From: " header which is under MTA
control.

First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the
banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him helpless.
