JFTR - Dick wrote "reporting the forwarded spam to SpamCop (which can

right with SC's "mailhost configuration" system.  And in that case you
could try "education" before your choice (a).  Probably you know this,
and it's clear that your scenario is AOL's reporting system, not SC's.

One idea to bring some "end-user education" into the picture, is to also
include in the extension an extra "I'm forwarder X, has recipient Y
whitelisted me?" probe command.

I still don't see what an SMTP extension would be needed for.

Furthermore, such a probe command would lead to the exposition of security 
relevant information.
