Careful. You are looking for a line starting with "From", *with no
colon*. This is the so-called "envelope from", aka "bounce address" [1].
The address there comes from the (last) SMTP protocol exchange.

The "From:" (with a colon) you are seeing is probably just an ordinary
mail header, which, as seen from the SMTP protocol is part of the mail
body.

Cheers
