The forwarding you are concerned about is something only the
recipient can know about or initiate. Why would a sender want a message
rejected if the recipient happened to forward it to another mailbox?
I'm not saying it is stupid - in fact, I'll throw out a possible reason:
A bank wants to send messages directly to recipients via TLS, and
wants recipients to reject emails that came through a forwarder,
and were possibly tampered with.
