suggests that it's not originating from people he knows, as it's not
his mail address that he's getting them to - probably some semi-random address like
sales@hisdomain.com. These don't neccessarily originate from infected systems of people he would know, as any infected system that knows his domain name could essentially be transmitting these mails. If it's to an address within a domain that you manage and the mails are going to a catch all address - simply dev/null all mails sent to the offending mail address so that you don't even see them - otherwise they'll keep occurring.
