You are forwarding the email, so it is you who are sending that email. Therefore your email address will be used in the 'FROM' header. It will go through your smtp server for the account.

You cannot send emails using an email address that belongs to someone else. Abusing a persons personal email address to send to third parties is not something anyone would advice on.
