It is child's play. However, there are very, very few spammers doing this for various reasons. See, e.g. http://tmda.net/faq.cgi?req=show&file=faq01.001htp > > No, of course not.

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.
