I dunno.  I've received several complaints from people who've received 
spam with my address in the From field.  I don't know if I'm being
singled out by a spammer (maybe he got angry at my "I support the death
penalty  for spammers" bumper sticker?), or if spammers are starting 
to forge addresses in general.  

But if history is any indication, spammers should not be underestimated.
They have proven quite capable of learning how to circumvent various 
kinds of filtering.
