This is actually fairly common:

>Received: from StarGazer.TenForward.com [65.161.10.3] by tenforward.com
>   (SMTPD32-7.12) id A21C2B30124; Mon, 19 Aug 2002 07:35:08 -0700
>Received: from hotmail.com (c-24-30-244-219.va.client2.attbi.com
>[24.30.244.219])
>  by StarGazer.TenForward.com (Postfix Relay Hub) with SMTP id 3081ACD2D
>  for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Mon, 19 Aug 2002 07:35:05 -0700 (PDT)
>From: <Varvar>, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The spammer had to tell his spamware what his computer name was, and what 
his E-mail address was.  He just decided to enter "hotmail.com" for the 
name of the computer, and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as the E-mail address.

The spammer didn't really have to resort to anything tricky (except perhaps 
figuring that some people would automatically whitelist hotmail.com, or 
perhaps send complaints there rather than to attbi.com).
