... because someone sent an email with his forged from-address:

Excerpts of the source of the 'original' email
[snip]

Received: from esc69.midphase.com (esc69.midphase.com [216.104.34.78])
[snip]

From: bob@proulx.com
[snip]

An apparently legitimate mail contains
[snip]

Received: by dementia.proulx.com (Postfix, from userid 1000)
[snip]

From: bob@proulx.com (Bob Proulx)
[snip]

instead of the lines above.

In case of doubt check the full headers of emails (and there are probably ways to forge those, too.)

PS: Thanks for spotting this, Florian!
