I think you are misreading it.  The only references to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] indicate that it is the recipient.

    X-Original-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    Received ... for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The only indications of the sender are:

    Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    Reply-To: "Wojciech Doucette" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    From: "Wojciech Doucette" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I don't know about the return path (it depends on which server wrote
it), but the other two are set by the sender and can easily be faked.
However, this is not your admin address, it is something else
entirely.
