Should it really the sender's responsibility to care about forwarding?
Usually, forwarding has been set up by the _receiver_, and the sender
often has no way of knowing that adresses that he sends to might be
forwarded.
Daniel was not talking about *real* forwarders, but rather "sender
forwarders" that send mail in behalf of someone - like greeting card services
and the hospital baby picture mail I wrote about. Services that
send mail in behalf of someone should *not* be using the authors
email as the sender email - but they do. They *should* be using
their own domain for return path and handling bounces themselves.
