Spammers will often pick random domains, and then forge the return address headers to look like the message is coming from that domain. This is an insecurity in the SMTP protocol in general, and not an issue with any server configuration. Because of this, nobody takes the return address as valid proof you are spamming, thus you cannot be held accountable. The thing that people look for, are the IPs which sent the spam in the first place. This will be the only true indicator of who actually sent the message.
