I do not know how you figure this came from Mozilla. Mozilla is not mentioned anywhere and they do not have email server anyway.

This is a common practice for spammers. The borrow an email address and use it for a return address for the junk the send out. They will get bored with you soon and move on to the next address. Anyone can spoof any email address and there is nothing you can do about it except be selective where you post personal info including your email address.

FYI....This is our work email address, would like to make sure no one can use it except us at the office. This is very strange and worry about it causing bigger issues. I will be getting off work soon and will not be able to respond to any questions until Monday morning.
