That is incorrect. It would also mean we will NEVER send email to
anybody who would want to forward that email to some other place. How
is that adminstrator putting the DKIM+SPF policy be sure of that? If
they ever send any emails to customers, contractors, friends etc, they
can never be sure those emails are not forwarded, thus they can't say
DKIM+SPF.

I can easyly see some big companies wanting to lock in their customers
by making it hard to change email addresses, but we should build or
protocols for those companies, but instead allow freedom of movement
where people are reading their emails.

I know that some companies in finland has included the iki.fi
IP-addresses ranges to their SPF records, because they had several
complains from people of SPF failures when they were sending emails to
iki.fi addresses. We even added _spf.iki.fi DNS record for them to use
for their include when it was requested, but I do not consider that
good practice for solving issues of the SPF.
