Personally I don't see anything wrong with requiring spam filtering
before being allowed to forward to somewhere else.
That being said; for new users signing up theres no issue. Here's the
terms, if they're unacceptable to you then please look elsewhere.
For existing users I'd present it pretty much as you did above. Explain
how blindly forwarding unfiltered mail can lead to a denial of service
to all users on the box and give 'em a choice of:
* signing up for filtering
* removing the forward
* deleting the account
