Why is this a 'mess'? Your user receives the bounce message (or
autoreply, etc.) as intended. In the Brave New World of SPF+SRS, that's
what would happen anyway.
I talk to you, you talk to someone else. You deal with problems delivering
to someone else, I deal with problems delivering to you. If you are
unreachable at someone else's domain, and if you bounce the message back
to me via your own server, I can live with that.
I may have firewalled someone else. The reason does not matter, it is
my decision. I don't expect bounces to come from someone else's domain,
I do not want to hear from them.
By the way: you are wrong. See http://spf.pobox.com/srs.html right hand
side near the top of the article, starting with "Under the new system,".
