It's quite Strange

I got this email with a "from" as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

Which is quite strange as this suppose to be our Domain.

How is this spoof done ? Is he just writing his name "cyrus" in the "email
address" field of the email client, and not specifying complete/correct
email address.


Thanks
Kapil
