This is FUD and simply not true. SRS is only one possible tool to
help mail receivers deal with their own forwarding, when they have set up
a large and uncontrolled pool of forwarders (an ISP where users
set up forwarders without consulting the mail admin, for example).
It is *not* required, and securing your mail network is always the
preferred solution.
Stuart, if you're ever going to be taken seriously, you're going to
have to learn to understand what other people mean when talking about
forwarding. It still has nothing to do with relaying within a
receiver's mail system. (And, BTW, while SRS is a more-or-less
adequate solution to the real forwarding problem, it would be a dismal
way to deal with internal relaying.)
