Gee, it seems to be dead horse time.

Forwarding isn't a problem, even though some people who think that
SPF is the FUSSP incorrectly imagine that it is.

SRS is basically saying that I have to change the way my mail system
works in order to work around the bugs in your anti-spam magic bullet.
Sorry, that's not how it works.

SPF certainly has its uses, but after a decade, I hope we all understand
that the world's mail systems are not going to rewrite themselves to
deal with SPF's well known limitations.  Ditto DMARC.
