How is it possible that an Alias mail account can send email?

I got a curious email that looks to be normal spoofing (email sent TO the same person in the FROM)
However, the header indicates it was whitelisted through Declude because it appears to be local mail and IP address of 0.0.0.0
Trying to figure out how an alias account can actually send email in the first place.  Here is the header with names redacted:
 
Return-Path: <ALIAS@domain.org>
Received: from bl7-250-156.dsl.telepac.pt (bl7-250-156.dsl.telepac.pt) by mymailserver.com with SMTP;

Any ideas on how this happens?
Thanks
