| Honest question... | Why are people forwarding mail to an off-server email address in 2025? 1. To loop new, now-relevant third-parties into an ongoing conversation. Think like a lawyer forwarding an email thread with their client to an expert witness. 2. To share an email (e.g. from a mailing list) that you think would be of interest to your colleagues and/or friends. FWIW, our company focuses on Zimbra software, and in the Zimbra web client, when you select the "Forward" action, the Zimbra web client actually crafts a brand new email message but tarts it all up to look like a forward. Such emails then pass SPF no problem, since the envelope sender's domain is the user doing the "forwarding". Regards, Mark -- _________________________________________________________________ L.
