My college alumni association provides an email forwarding service: any

server you would normally use.
How is this supposed to work with SPF?
It seems like the other guys who have responded to this have omitted to

It is also supposed that once people publish their policies, the old
saying that "what goes around comes around" will apply; those with policies
which benefit the rest of us will benefit from publishing them, and those
that don't, won't. In the longer term this should discourage policies such
as that which you describe -- "anybody may send mail claiming to be from
our domain".
Actually, that's pretty much the same as what I replied..
