I know of at least one very large provider that makes no attempt to identify
spam as forwarded, and where IPs that emit a certain persistent percentage of
spam over a particular span of time will first have their traffic be marked as
spam, and some time later see it refused absolutely at the edge.

They might want to explore whether their provider or their client can access
the remote account by POP or IMAP rather than forwarding. Many fewer issues
for all concerned will arise.
