Not only that, it also comes from forged but real addresses. And that will
be a real problem. It is true that blocking on From: addresses can be very
effective but you will most likely also put a ban on valid addresses of
people who never ever sent spam but who's (whose ?) address has been
abused as originator in spam. And yes, they abused my address a few times
so I would probably also appear on the list sooner or later ;-(
