Are we calling forwarders, forwarders yet or are you still changing existing
terminology?
I put the following at the top of the page at
http://open-mail.org/MHSmodel.html
'''
The terminology proposed here differs from
<http://ece.arizona.edu/%7Eedatools/home/email/Email_Authentication.htm>common
usage in that we are making a distinction between "Forwarding" and other kinds
of relaying. Here a "Forwarder" is an Agent working on the Recipient's side of
the Border. Agents on the Sender's side may be called "Transmitters", or just
Sender's relays.
See <http://open-mail.org/Forwarding.html>Forwarding for more discussion of
typical problems in Mail Handling Systems.
See <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-crocker-email-arch-09>Internet Mail
Architecture and this <http://openspf.org/Community/Glossary>glossary for more
general terminology.

We should also make it clear in any discussion with someone outside the SPF
community, that we are using the term "forwarding" in a more limited way than
they might understand. This will avoid problems when we say things like "all
forwarders should re-write the Return Address", and they think we are talking
about a Transmitter.
