qconfirm, SPF and Pobox.com?

Hello, I complained some time ago about Pobox.com going to SPF and SRS. For the moment, I'm not angry enough to switch providers, but am thinking about reversing their obnoxious anti-spam measure. I can think of two ways to do it: 1) Write a qmail-queue wrapper which un-munges the envelope sender. This would not be too difficult. 2) Teach qconfirm how to un-munge for the purposes of checking. This seems much more painful. The only problem I see with #1 is multiply-rewritten envelope senders. So far I've never seen such a thing in the wild. Also, minor annoyances might arise with emails from pobox.com itself, but I don't care about that. The first big problem with #2 is that we would also have to deal with the recipients of confirmation messages; we would either go through the bounce mechanism at pobox (by using the munged envelope sender), or directly by using the un-munged sender. Any thoughts or suggestions? Anyone else dealing with a situation in which they can't easily get out from under a use of SPF? Thanks! Len.
