Forwarding email from one address to another is not a
challenging operation and it should not require any
ridiculous hoop-jumping of the sort you propose to make it
work. The problem is the people who use ``black lists'' to
block their users' email against their wishes, and the
solution is for them not to do that. It is ludicrous to
propose an ever more complex tower of ``white lists'' and
``black lists'' and other types of pointless frippery to
solve this problem; it can only be solved by attacking its
root cause, which is the use of the ``black lists'' to
block mail.
