It's been quite common for some time for worms/viruses du jour to fake 
from/to. Not that it's not annoying. Two meassures that IMHO could help 
a bit could be:

a) Most people started gpg-signing e-mail by default. (Some FreeBSD 
committers already do that)

b) FreeBSD.org could publish spf records like some people are already 
doing (.e.g. grog@ does and some others)

c) For those running pf, block on $ext_if from any os "Windows" to 
$ext_ip port = 25 ;-)
