My college alumni association provides an email forwarding service: any alumnus can get a <user>@alum.mit.edu address that forwards to their real email service.

How is this supposed to work with SPF?

It seems like the other guys who have responded to this have omitted to
actually answer the question.
I say he should send the mail through his ISP with a reply-to address of alum.mit.edu. Might not
be as fancy, but would likely be the best solution IMHO.

Otherwise, If they are going to give you the email forwarding, why not spend 50 more cents and just give you an account?
