There is of course the other (remote?) possibility that Eugene's company has
experienced a serious compromise and various mail accounts are now sending
out erroneous emails.

You may have nailed it Nick, we used unlocked PCs to shock users into
compliance at my previous company. (One) of the techniques was to send
emails on behalf of the offender.

Looks of surprise and denial from the perceived senders "but I didn't send
that!"
"Lock your PC next time!! And while you're here please re-read this security
policy!"

We only sent to internal addresses though :)

Do I detect a case of "I went to get coffee without locking my 
terminal"??

(Quickly followed by a case of "HR wants to have a talk with <insert 
one of Eugene Smith's co-workers' names here>"...)
