You _already_ can, and that's been true for years. Fernando is reporting
that a _small_ number of recipients are now rejecting valid mail which
his servers have forwarded.

SRS is a hack to work around the broken policies of those recipients.
Brian is suggesting would be better for Fernando to get those recipients
to _fix_ their broken policies, instead of trying to work around them.

I'm inclined to agree. Contact the postmaster at the broken sites which
are rejecting valid mail, refer them to something like
http://david.woodhou.se/why-not-spf.html and suggest that they stop
rejecting mail for SPF failure.
