I would disagree. I suspect that it is common for 'role' addresses to
be aliased to a personal address, often with the same person receiving
more than one 'role' address. If user(_at_)example(_dot_)com receives mail for
postmaster(_at_)example(_dot_)com and abuse(_at_)example(_dot_)com, they may
well want
replies to mails sent to those addresses to show the appropriate
'role' account rather than user(_at_)example(_dot_)com(_dot_)
Yes, but we are not talking about internal forwarding. The above
scenario causes no problems with SPF.
