  It's spoofed.  I'm seeing them too.

  Spammers have discovered that you can troll mailing list archives
for who talked to who.  They then send spam "from" someone on the list
"to" someone else on the list.  This is an attempt to leverage
whitelists and address books.

  It doesn't happen a lot, but I expect this spam method to grow over
time.  I know I've seen it go from an occasional attempt to a few per
day.
