	I suggest you look at the actual mail headers, not just the To: and From:
address. Look at what servers claim to originate the mail and I'd suggest you
might find that they are not your server (i.e. not from where people using
your domain might originate mail.)

	Re it getting through your spam filter, that's another question and something
you'll have to look at in light of how your filters are configured.
