See <http://www.trusted-forwarder.org>.

Be aware however that not all receivers who check SPF actually use that 
whitelist.  The T-F whitelist is not a part of the SPF specification.

(BTW, I wouldn't call it an "SRS whitelist", because it has nothing to do 
with SRS.  It _could_ be considered an "SPF whitelist", though.)
