Whitelisting the To: address is something that SpamAssassin does. It
allows many emails sent through mail forwarders to be whitelisted.
If you whitelist the "To: " corresponding to your address at the forwarder,
you will whitelist all the spam sent to this address, won't you ?
Yes, this is also true for SPF-classic (Unified-SPF/MAILFROM) and
SenderID (Unified-SPF/PRA).
Unless you rely on the forwarder itself to perform the checks and reject
failures in the first place...?
Right, mailing lists and forwarders need to do a good job of spam
filtering and in my opinion, that includes SPF checks. However, if
someone chooses to use a poorly run forwarder, or simply wants no spam
filtering done for the forwarded address, that is up to them.
Did I miss something ?
Nope.
