Are you confusing the words "forward" and "relay"?

    - Forward: Take email destined for recipient A and forward it
      to recipient B instead of (or sometimes in addition to)
      delivering it to A's mailbox.

    - Relay: Route mail addressed to one or more recipients to a
      a suitable gateway responsible for handling mail to those
      recipients.

Forwarding is generally done via address rewriting, while relaying
is done via transport/nexthop selection.
