Hi,

The e-mail address you have contacted is related to Debian's web site, 
not mail services.

The SPF rejection was generated by the recipient's mail server, not any 
of Debian's infrastructure; mailly simply relayed it back to you.

This is a known issue with the combination of SPF and mail forwarding - 
the recipient's mail server would have received a mail claiming to be 
from you that originated from Debian's mail server, as it forwarded the 
mail. This is likely resolvable by the recipient configuring their 
checks to either ignore the Debian forwarding hop (which should be 
doable in most setups I believe) or not performing SPF checks on mail 
forwarded to them.
