This just appeared in my Inbox: "Subject: IRS Compensation From: Internal-revenue-service@dossena.dnshigh.com"

Should I open it or forward it to someone I dislike?

Send it to the IRS or maybe the White House?

Not the Pentagon, when they get hacked they tend to target a drone on the sender and then the poor guy whose online address the hacker spoofed would get blown up.

"From" spoofing. That's why the header information has to be reviewed.

And they do that just for laughs and brag about it in the bar after work.
