Dunno about gmail, but we regularly have this problem with yahoo 
accounts. I get the impression that hackers get into the server and as 
Marc says, they get the contact list and spoof the email address.

Contrary to Marc's assumption, I doubt his email account was hacked. The 
hackers have some way of getting hold of the contacts without having to 
actually break into the account, which is why securing the account 
didn't work ... and which is why I avoid cloud email accounts ...
