Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but why not?
Only because it would be unnecessary.
The secondary has to be checking SPF coming in, right? If it does not use
SRS then you have to white-list the secondary, because your secondary is
not an authorized sender for all incoming mail from all domains, and if
they don't check SPF forgeries would not be stopped.
You are correct in that saving the extra hop is probably not worth the
extra complexity. Perhaps when I stop having to look at envfrom addresses all
day long, it won't bother me anymore.
