It is child's play. However, there are very, very few spammers doing
this for various reasons. See, e.g.

TMDA integrates with your mail server. It sees mails which go out. If
_you_ configure it that way, it is done automagically. Furthermore, tmda
can use a feature called 'dating' addresses, which basically enables
people to reply to you from whatever e-mail address they want to use.
See the FAQ for that.
