There are people using software where you can't change the return
adress. When this people try to help you they will get a bouncing
message telling them that the adress is wrong. Usually I don't check the
adress because I assume that it is valid, therefore I had to send each
message twice at least.
This means additional work on the helpers behalf as well as increasing
unneccessary bandwith because the forged mails are getting bounced
between systems.
