I believe you're referring, IIRC to spam _genuinely sent_ from Rahul
Sundaram's Yahoo account, whose login credentials on the Web have been
stolen by spammers who have subsequently been barraging everyone in
Rahul's addressee list, ncluding ####@####.#### It's a very
widespread problem among Yahoo webmail users.
The mailing list moderator for ####@####.#### should respond by
turning on the 'moderated' flag for such hapless webmail users until
the subscriber in question regains control of his/her webmail account.
That is a great deal more constructive than posting pointlessly
complaining mails to your fellow subscribers, especially ones that
commit fundamental errors like asserting that it "_pretends_ to
originate from the subscriber', i.e., failing to understand the problem,
which does not involve forgery.
