Gmail does allow you to use a third party submission server, and it

We're thinking that as well, or just stopping forwarding services at all.
The problem with forwarders using third party services' submission
servers is that the user would need to give out their login details -
which is a big issue. Maybe users should be able to create extra sets of
authentication details for their submission servers, but ONLY for mail
going to their own email addresses, for forwarding servers to use. These
could still let the messages be blocked by a spam filter, but would let
the receiving server know that the messages are coming from a forwarding
server, so (a) the forwarding server's reputation should not be affected
by spam from there, and (b) some checks like DKIM might have to be
ignored/loosened.
I suppose that a scheme like this could potentially be extended to
mailing lists - when you subscribe, you give authentication details as
well as an email address.
