Yes, that's just how forwarding and .forwards work.
And if you mix inbound email (much dirtier than outbound email even if you run a secure shop) into a mail stream that includes email sent out by your clients, you potentially have random botnet spam, spam from sbl listed spammers etc (in other words, a lot of "block on sight" stuff) leaking through your IP, the same IP that a bunch of your other customers use to mail out to their aunt mary on yahoo.
AH, I see the confusion. We are a managed server hosting company, not a Cable/DSL/T#/Dialup provider. The only way mail gets sent out of here is Webmail, FormMail and Mail exploder.
So no mail would ever be coming inbound and then being forwarded on? That seems...unlikely.
I'm pretty sure none of our systems have been compromised and forwards mail that we don't know about.
Yet your sending IP reputation is poor....
