So when your Gmail account gets hacked you can still receive your emails as well as password reset mail too :) A better way to stay protected is to set auto email forward filter which will forward all your email to another email account, its very less chances that hacker will ever check this filters.

When you say "hacked" it sounds like you think that all spammers who spoof a person's email address are using the original mail server. That's pretty rare, I imagine. Are you saying that your friend found the annoying advertisement email in his sent mail? Typically, a spammer would just use the appropriated address as a "from" field in an outgoing email, but send it via his or her own mail server. See http://tinyurl.com/7fah. Hmm.
