SPF and SRS are completely independent solutions to different

If you only have SPF, how do you handle bounces for forwarded
messages?

If you don't forward messages, you don't have a problem.  There are
actually a lot of places that don't.

Those places cannot implement SPF, because SPF breaks bouncehandling
(have not we said this before):

I am a user at an ISP that has SPF but no SRS, and no forwarding
allowed.  I send a message to a friend who forwards it to his new
account.  The forwarding is done without SRS, so if the message
bounces from my friend's new account, it will bounce directly to my
account.  Will my ISP accept the bounce?  Does it have anything to do
with my server not forwarding messages?
