mail and understand their forwarding configuration just fine -- though
it is visible to neither the sending admin or the final receiving
admin.

Really, I have never heard of a forwarding that has neither been set up by 
the sender nor by the recipient.  SMTP isn't like IP where packets travel 
through faceless 3rd-party hops on their way from the sender to the 
recipient.

The "someone set up a forwarding for her" case you mentioned is extremely 
obscure and is really just a case of recipient-controlled forwarding 
since it was done with at least _implicit_ approval of the recipient.
