Actually, my system already does something like that, because the
call-forward recipient verification will fail if SPF is involved, so my
system will never accept the message in the first place. This feature was
not implemented for any reasons to do with SPF and has no SPF-specific
knowledge.

So, you try to contact one of my users. SPF causes the message to bounce.
What do you do? Was it an important message?

If it was an important message, I call them. If I only have a forwarding
e-mail address that won't accept my messages it can't have been that
important to them to hear anything from me.
