This is bogus. Forwarding does not have to stop.
Hmmn. I'm not sure how to respond to someone who seems to think that
I wrote the exact opposite of what I did.
I think you wrote:
"Some domains argue that nobody is allowed to forward".
I respond that this is not the case, in other words I don't think it's
true that SPF wants to stop forwarding.
I said that forwarding happens, and that SPF records saying "no
forwarding" aren't going to stop it. Recipients can believe -all at
Here you say it again. SPF does NOT say "no forwarding".
SPF _does_ say: "No spoofing my name".
If you want to forward then that's fine. Just don't use my name

People claming that the SPF community wants to ban forwarding are
spreading fud, no matter their reputation.

I needed to look this ("non-sequiturs") up and I don't see why you
