    Whereas the second one is a normal this is an automated response do not reply etc.

    My brother's account was hacked (he's out at sea right now, in the navy) and I was going through his emails to check and see if there were any clues like a notification his PW was changed (which there was) and stumbled upon these fake blizzard emails.

    I can't tell the difference in the fake and real email addresses. How'd they do that?

    The IP and address are just a part of the document, it's easy to make a program that edit that and send fake e-mail that look real.
