I don't think the spammer was pretending to come from Red Hat. I'm
fairly sure that '@redhat.com' you see in the From: address was added by
Red Hat's machines -- the original just said 'From: Top.SEO.Secrets'.

The Red Hat machines probably should have rejected the RFC2822-invalid
mail, but instead they accepted it and even qualified the address
'Top.SEO.Secrets', rewriting it to appear 'Top.SEO.Secrets@xxxxxxxxxx'.
And then sent it on to you, since it was sent to your @fedoraproject.org
address.
