If a website starts to get a few bounced emails comng back to it, some admin might even start to look for the associated account and censure it.
Hence the forward facility from the 'fake mail provider'.

'original source' -> 'fake mail' -> your inbox

Monitor incoming mail from 'fake mail provider' declare it all spam with your spamfilter if you see spam coming from it.

Turn off spam filter when you want to recieve emails alerts from the 'original source' eg reset password etc etc

This all depends of whether 'fake mail provider' doesn't go bust in a few years.
