In Outlook 2003, you can use the MailItem.SenderEmailAddress, but note that it's subject to security prompts.

In earlier versions, there is no Outlook property that returns the sender's email address. You can either use CDO (or Redemption to avoid security prompts -- http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/) to get the From address or use Outlook to get the Reply To address. Sample code at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getsenderaddy.htm

To get the SMTP address from an Exchange sender or recipient, use CDO or Redemption and the PR_EMAIL (&H39FE001E) MAPI property to obtain the SMTP address from the AddressEntry object. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getsenderaddy.htm#redemption and http://www.cdolive.com/cdo5.htm#EMailAddressOfSender for examples.
