I am not sure that this should be the case: I suspect that this approach would invite mail loops and/or defeat some anti-spam measures. For email purposes, the name 'jsoftware.com' refers to a farm of google mail handling machines, and the name forums.jsoftware.com is the jsoftware.com web server and mail archive. For web browsing purposes they are the same machine (but with different "virtual hosts" and, thus, different content). Put different: it seems like what you're suggesting is that the jsoftware mail archive should be prepared to step in front of google's anti-spam measures for anyone who has the knowledge and motivation to take advantage of this detail. That said, note also that there is some evidence of decay related to some of google's implementation (for example: the signature failure visible in the headers of the message you sent). So further decay in this context might be harmless (or, slight chance: catastrophic). Anyways, I hope this sheds a little light on the situation for you.
