Do you rewrite/forward mail? .. we're a .edu, and allow our students to
forward to hotmail/yahoo/whatever .. so when a phishing/malware sweep
hits campus, about 60% is reflected back onto the Internet (sometimes
our Anticrap gateway catches it, sometimes not). Because of the way
addresses are re-written, it looks like it came from us.
