I apologize if I'm rolling back this particular discussion a bit. I see how
SPF will get stronger and stronger as more people publish records and
especially as people start checking them, but for me (or Shaun) to use SRS
is strictly a local thing isn't it? The people I'm forwarding mail from and
to do not have anything to do with SRS, correct? or did I misinterpret this?
I would hate to see Shaun or anyone else not does something based on an
incorrect statement.
There's two issues:
1. If the sender publishes with a 'fail' via SPF, the message you forward
onward will bounce because you aren't a valid sender for the origin domain.
You must deploy SRS if your forwarded users need to receive mail from
SPF-enabled domains (which specify fail as the action)
2. Any mail which you send to a forwarded address (which is generally
impossible for you to know) may bounce if the forwarding company doesn't
SRS-encode your message when you forward it.
