Many more people would probably jump in here with great suggestions if
you would actually provide something we can understand. I for one am
having severe difficulty comprehending what you're trying to tell us.
"whitelist these servers" -- what servers?
"then if it bounces" -- what bounces? Who is bouncing it? Why?
"because of a .forward" -- why are .forward files on "these
servers" relevant to bounces?
You've typed this as if you're having a conversation with someone in the
same room, who sees everything you're seeing, and knows everything you
know. We're not in the same room and we're certainly not inside your
head Al. Please provide us sufficient technical detail so we can help you.
