Actually, the hops in between also need to do spf checking of course, if they 
don't it doesn't matter wether you have -all ?all or -hoolahoola .

Anyway, isn't it supposed to bounce, instead of being silently dropped? I think 
there are domains for which it is entirely feasible to act upon these bounces, 
by contacting the administrator of the non-srs host, do some evangalising etc..
