Actually, they do anticipate and work with forwarding - unfortunately
they don't work with forwarding the way it was done in the 1980s and
90s. :)   Sadly the notion that these practices should change after so
many decades makes some people very upset, and very vocal.

via phishing over the past 20 years is a compelling reason to pursue
email authentication - as one of a number of steps. There are things
that I believe will never be amenable to similar technical measures,
like the misleading contents of a message. However such challenges do
not excuse doing nothing on points that can be constructively addressed.

Just so this isn't brought up later as a sign I'm part of some shadowy
cabal - I participated in the IETF working group that created DKIM, and
I also participated in the creation of DMARC and am active in that IETF
working group, as well as DMARC.org.
