As the message you appended was spam the spammer probably forged the
envelope address (maybe you noticed the Return-Path in the headers).
Spammers will often present mail as being from your domain (in the
envelope, not necessarily in the headers).  Its a good idea to whitelist
local domains by mail server IP (or IP block) rather than domain name.
