You seem to understand the problem, but what makes you claim this
forwarding is "wrong"? RFC2821 explicitly permits it.
Perhaps RFC 2821 permits it but it also mentions several problems
with it.
Where? You'll have to give us a precise reference because I can't find
one. I can see some comments about source routes which have been
deprecated since before RFC 1123 in 1989, but this is unrelated to
forwarding.
Last but not least: The _senders_ policy explicitly forbids it.
If senders don't want their email forwarded then they shouldn't send email
to anyone who will forward it.
Ahhhhh - but how do you tell? Perhaps I do not want any of my mail to get
forwarded
to certain mail systems. There is no way in hell that I can determine that
joe(_at_)example(_dot_)com has set up a forwarding to
joe(_at_)terrorist(_dot_)iq, unless joe answers
from the latter address.
