Not unless the spammer also forges headers to make the email look like it's coming from the IP that corresponds with the email address. RBL blacklisting is done based on the IP info in the headers, not on domain names in the email.
Thanks for the reassurance! If it becomes a problem I'll filter out emails addressed from mysel, as I very rarely email myself except for testing purposes.
I hate to spoil your day, but it is possible. I had such an experience about a year ago. We were using an old version of the popular form mail script formail.pl. The version in question had a security issue that allowed a spammer to turn my webserver into a mail relay. Because the mail was going through formmail.pl, it came out just looking like any other mail sent from my mail server. We were subsequently listed on spamcop, etc, etc. Was a real mess that took days to sort out.
The good news was that that we responded to one of the spam messages (a advertisement for morgage refinacing) and the offending company acutally called us back!!! I turned the *&@#$!s into the local authorities.
