Unfortunately, yes. It is possible for an email to be sent from an address without actual access to the mailbox associated with it. This is known as "email address spoofing".
There is a verification system known as Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, to avoid this spoofing practice. It must be implemented on the mail servers directly, so unless one is actually running a mail server there isn't much one can do to enable it. Most mail servers do support SPF already, however, greatly reducing the risk of spoofing.
