Unless you've checked the headers and specifically found his machine to be
the source, don't assume that. Once addresses have been harvested (whether
from someone's infected machine or off the Web, for example from Nabble),
the spambots will use them as "From" addresses as well as destinations. A
number of my friends/acquaintances have sent me nastygrams over the years
complaining about inappropriate e-mail messages from me, which on inspection
came from hijacked or infected systems elsewhere in the world.
