Yep - they are using "normal" email technology. That's supposed to
work. That's what SPF breaks. It also breaks email forwarding.
I prefer to say "email forwarding breaks SPF" but that's just semantics.
The truth of the matter is that email forwarding makes up less than
0.001% of all email so, when it happens its an minute annoyance at best
since the sender is made aware of the forwarded address and the message
can be re-sent.
What percentage of email is forwarded is going to be highly site
specific. For example, at my site, it's very much heavier than .001%,
which means problems caused by SPF and interfering with forwarding
become more than "minute annoyances".
