No. The From address is not the SMTP reverse-path. This message, for 
example, has a From address dwmw2@infradead.org but the SMTP reverse-path, 
to which errors should go, is dwmw2@redhat.com. (Unless it goes through 
the list, in which case the reverse-path gets changed to linux-mtd-admin@, 
so that errors in list delivery go to the list admin, not the original 
sender.)

Or something equally stupid. Hence abuse@ their ISP getting CC'd on the 
complaint.
