If the registrar is in the middle, they have a considerable interest in failing to deliver sales inquiries, because they will tend to lose out on them. Same with certain types of abuse inquiries. The registrar has a conflict of interest with most forms of legitimate inquiry on a domain. If the registrar allows unfiltered messages, or messages whose content is entirely unknown to the registrar, then you're back to square one, because the end address ultimately has to filter the spam.

Critically, if one were going to do this, allow the domain owner to black hole all communication via this path if they're not interested.
