Actually, no, they don't.  Where it came from is irrelevant to where 
replies *to* it go.  It may have spoofed MR's legit address 
--<mrzenwiz at gmail.com> -- but replies to that address still go back to 
it, irrespective of who forged it.  Think of it like a forged return 
address on an envelope -- the mail will go to the forged address, not 
whoever wrote it.  If they want to collect addresses, they can just 
subscribe to the list and monitor traffic.
