He isn't. He's using kevin@localhost. Something at your end is seeing
the '@localhost' and rewriting it to your domain name. For the same
reason, other people will be thinking he's faking their domain names.
Have a look in the challenge-response flamewar thread - Alan Connor
had a similarly broken header and people were thinking the same thing
about him.
Kevin, if you're using exim, try something like this: (I'm assuming
your local hostname is 'debian' based on a quick poke through your
posts)
From /etc/exim/exim.conf:
######################################################################
# REWRITE CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
# There are no rewriting specifications in this default configuration file.
# This rewriting rule is particularly useful for dialup users who
# don't have their own domain, but could be useful for anyone.
# It looks up the real address of all local users in a file
*@debian ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} frFs
From /etc/email-addresses:
# This is /etc/email-addresses. It is part of the exim package
#
# This file contains email addresses to use for outgoing mail. Any local
# part not in here will be qualified by the system domain as normal.
#
# It should contain lines of the form:
#
#user: someone@isp.com
#otheruser: someoneelse@anotherisp.com
kevin: kevin@pacific.net.au
