Perhaps. But with bot-nets, why would the phishers NEED to spoof addresses? Just send those fake e-mails from a compromised machine within the company you want them to appear to be from. That's just a logical extension of something we've already seen happen: the old advice about "don't open e-mail from people you don't know" was obsoleted by viruses that scan the infected machine's e-mail folders for targets, so now the infected e-mail you get comes from people you DO know.
