Indeed. Wow. I thought you were one of the Good Guys.

Then quarantine it, and review it manually. This is no different
than having a backup MX that has accepts mail your main MX would
reject. You have to whitelist mail coming from the forwarder/backup
MX, and deal with it. IMHO there's no excuse for knowingly
generating collateral spam.
