Comment:

 Reading through this back and forth, I don't think this one is ready to be
 closed out yet. It's not clear whether any changes are necessary (or
 nothing at all is necessary). While discussion can always continue on
 closed tickets, I'd like to leave this open so it remains visible in
 reports.

 I tend to agree that it may not be best to change the default now and I am
 also currently against adding a new option.

 However, maybe there is some mix of the following that can be explored:
 - Add a warning or info-level notice in Site Health educating the user
 about how to make their site's email more reliable (seems like #62129 aims
 to accomplish some form of that)
 - Possibly create a simple canonical plugin that helps site owners control
 and adjust the appearance of their site emails without needing to add
 their own filters.
 - Work with the Hosting team to better document this and explore possible
 best practices to recommend. For example, I believe if the host is in
 control of the name servers for the domain name and no email related DNS
 entries are present, a forwarder could probably be set up by default.
