That's the whole point of email forwarding.  There are many thousands of
people with @computer.org email addresses, and none of them control the
computer.org domain.  I can't update DNS for computer.org, and it's unlikely
they'll put entries in for the MTAs of the thousands of users who have
forwarding email accounts with them so they can still use that account for
outbound.  I'll be able to receive messages using that account, but won't be
able to send using it in the future.
