Is it all possible to add SPF 2.0 provision for consideration of the most
important entity of the 2821 transaction?  The forwarding address;
2821.RCPTTO?

If RCPTTO fails, then all your steps is all for nothing.

Another point in favor of checking 2821.RCPTTO is for whitelisting.  I
believe that in the end there is no non-cryptographic solution to the
"forwarding problem" that doesn't involve some degree of trust relationship
with the forwarder.  Checking for a trust relationship (whitelisting) will
need to be done on a per user basis if it's going to work for large domains.
This can't be done until after you know who the user is.
