So either you don't understand fully, or you're happy with the fact that
when your clients send email to another address outside your control,
and that email gets forwarded on to its final destination without SRS,
you are trying to cause that valid mail to be lost.

I know the forwarding problem. If I publish a ?all or ~all the the final
receipents does not reject if it comes from a forwarder. But then a
spammer can also send his junk with my (or my clients) address and I (or
my clients) have to do Joe-Jobs. About 50% of my clients had to do
Joe-Jobs in the last year (about 10'000 bounce messages per hour). But
noone of my clients ever told me about forwarding problems with
communication partners neither I ever had a problem with that.
So the sorting out of the regular mails from the unwanted bounce
messages took days or weaks of handwork, which is very expensive. But
for most of my clients forwarding is only a hypotetical problem which
the never have seen.
