Absolutely. But AFAIK, headers like this are harder to fake:

Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
...
Received: from sca-ea-mail-4.sun.com (sca-ea-mail-4.Sun.COM [192.18.43.22])
        for <joe-at-example.com>...
Received: from phys-mayi-1 ([129.157.128.83])
        by sca-ea-mail-4.sun.com ...

Received: from alaska-11021 (alaska-11021.Germany.Sun.COM [10.16.67.99])
 by mayi-mail1.germany.sun.com
 ....

(full headers are available through the oooforum link)

Two of the three IPs are not publicly resolvable. I'm no DNS wiz, so I can't say what that means, but spammers don't typically resort to hacking DNS just to fake some headers.

The simplest thing would be if someone inside Sun could take a look and explain what happened.
