I didn't mean automated forwarding.  I meant they are now manually=20
forwarding the bounce message caused by an SPF permerror to say a=20
gmail.com address of theirs, then forwarding it to the original=20
recipient saying "Why did you bounce my original email?  My last email a=20
  couple of days ago went through fine."  I would like for the bounce=20
message to tell the original sender to forward this to their own mail=20
sysadmin like the openspf.net link says to do.

Also, I am not talking about SPF fails that would result from forwarding=20
without SRS.  I am only talking about SPF permerrors that are caused by=20
the original envelope-from domain having a misconfigured/bad=20
syntax/duplicate record/etc.
