This isn't feasible for site-wide installations of SpamAssassin like mine
(more than 30,000 users). Academic users use forwarding a lot because they
move around so much.

In the end, I used "-notfirsthop" logic for those DNSBL tests I modified
which is close to or better than "-firsttrusted" in terms of results, but
doesn't suffer the same loss of hits when mail is relayed or forwarded.
