Interesting point. I know you used to be able to spoof a "from" address
when sending from Gmail even if it was just an alias. Now you have to have
an actual mailbox at the alias domain. I'll try to do a test later today
with a spoofed "from" field using a different account and see if the
results change.

I'm not sure how to do that with a spoofed "from."
