Hmm this is very simple to explain

Its called spoofing & is very achievable to do via Telnet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoofing_attack

Anyone that is web technology fluent can achieve this. Sometimes it can last for a period of up to 2-3 weeks. Sometimes longer. The only real way to *try* and stop this is SPF Records & Domain Keys

Wether the VM email system supports this is another matter

Hope this helps
