True enough, but SPF does break forwarding. Forwarders have to become
resenders.
Or, they can become relayers. As I noted before, most users are using
BigIsp.com as a free imap server. They don't really want the
BigIsp.com domain as their email.
The example user is using BigIsp.com because he happens to like using
BigIsp.com.
In a typical scenario, a dozen or so people at a small business
include people who like using ISP1, ISP2, ISP3, ... and ISPn. With
the forwarding service I offer, they all have addresses in their
company domain, and they each can read the mail they receive using the
mail system they are most comfortable using. If they need or want an
email account here, I'll sell them one, but they do not have to buy
email accounts here to have me handle their domain's mail. Not being
locked into using a common mail system is a big selling point.
It's also not unusual for them to have me forward their mail to more
than one mail account.
