This is why predicting the imminent demise of forwarding, because
we don't like it technically and because email as a whole would be
better off without it, is unrealistic at best.

Publishers of FAIL policies have obviously more pressing needs than
to survive rare cases of legacy forwarding to a third party checking
SPF.  My counter is still one pseudo-551 since 2004-05 (zero in 2006).

Your counter for forwarded message rejections, as well as everyone
else's, is low because recipients are not rejecting on SPF fail.  It
would be a serious mistake to assume that alias forwarding will go away
any time soon, despite claims that email will die if forwarding remains.
