Other than in the /etc/aliases style of forwarding, (which is still done
with the implicit permission of the receiver), where is it common that
other people set up forwarding aliases to your accounts?
Many
recipients couldn't communicate that information even if such a channel
of communication between user and admin was available -- they just
aren't aware of it as it has never been important.
Hmm.
So if the problem is that some recipients with longstanding addresses
won't know all the forwarding they've had sent to their address, I
imagine those recipients won't go to their ISP's email settings web
control panel and do the following:
1. Enable spf checking for their addresses
2. List their forwarding accounts.
But while they need not do the above if they don't want to, I still can.
So:
1. Do you have any complaints about that by-choice situation?
2. Do you have any complaints about ISP's by default enabling
SPF checking, and perhaps virus and spam checks), for new
accounts?
