This is not right.  If the recipients have never heard of SPF, then
there is no problem.  If they are checking SPF, and have a clue,
then they will whitelist the forwarders (which they have selected)
that don't do SRS or RSR.  If they are checking SPF, and don't have
a clue, then they need to be educated.  

Blindly rejecting mail from a non-SRS forwarder is quite simply an
incorrect configuration on the part of the recipient.  This is not
unique to SPF.  Quite a few mail servers are configured stupidly
for all sorts of reasons.
