Of course, one thing not mentioned on this thread..
Simply stop allowing remote forwarding..
Every modern email client can check multiple email accounts.
The day when remote forwarding was a necessity has now passed, and now
with things like SPF and other email tests, forwarding simply breaks..
Stop allowing remote forwarding, and reduce support ;)
Not so tongue in cheek.. Local forwarding is one thing, remote
forwarding for end users.. not so much.
And, you would be surprised how many customer might just prefer using
your email services to Gmail's.
This is not always possible.
Wearing my postmas...@freebsd.org hat: we don't want to store users'
mail. We also don't want to decide for our users who should be storing
their email. So we give them a choice to forward it to their mailbox
provider of choice.
I realise we're not a representative use case but I'm sure we're not
alone.
There are legitimate use cases for remote forwarding.
