Sure... I do this myself. (Not AOL, of course, but I "forge"
my normal email-reading address on email I send out from
my ISP.) Enough spam does this that it seems like it'd be
worth a couple of spam points, though, for the domains that
the spammers like to forge most, like AOL, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
Especially AOL... How many AOL users are there, really, who
use another ISP and want their mail to come back to AOL?
