After a few thousand complaints, or even questions like - "Hey Mr. Yahoo,
how come all my forwarded mail goes into the [bulk] folder? Why can't I
whitelist my forwarders?"
Or, "I want to consolidate my mail, at your mailstore for [whatever
reason], but [Other ISP] is refusing to do it due to some weird technical
problem they say is at your end. Their explanation is at [URL], maybe you
can sort it out..."
After hearing that, they will eventually modify their whitelisting
option, so it works with a domain name, not necessarily a full address.
That's not the right direction.
I don't understand what you mean. What I was talking about is a very common
forwarding arrangement, one where the Recipient fills out a web form at
<forwarder.org> to have all his mail currently addressed to
<recipient(_at_)forwarder(_dot_)org> forwarded to his new MDA. The problem was
that the MDA (yahoo.com in my example) allowed whitelisting of mail from
specific individual Senders, but not of all mail forwarded by <forwarder.org>.
This is a common limitation I have seen at services like yahoo.com.

Perhaps if you explain the situation you have in mind, using terms that
everyone understands, I might be able to understand your proposed solution.
