In case that hint about non-technical users doesn't make it clear, it
is important that even my client not have to know forwarding is

mail winds up where their MUA can show it to them. They not only
don't know, they don't want to have to know. They view it as my job
to get their mail to them, and they pay me to view it that way too.
So what do you do when your innocent client decides that some mailbox on
the inside of the forwarding chain has the most user-friendly "anti-spam
control panel", thus causing backscatter or training an IP-blacklist to
hate you?
Also, note that not all forwarders are the same. In cases such as yours,
you're getting paid, so you put the recipient's desires for simple
configuration first. In many other cases, forwarding is offered as a
take-it-or-leave-it gift, and the forwarder's desire to avoid backscatter
will dominate.
