The recivier *already* knows whether the message has been forwarded,
because they set up the forwarder! If the recipient is so disorganized
that they have lost track of their aliases (or an ISP has no mechanism
for users to enter them), then they can't (correctly) reject on SPF fail
(unless they don't care about those old forgotten aliases bouncing).
In any case, there is no SPF forwarding problem. Sometimes people
call it that when receivers screw up their configuration, but there
is nothing a sender can or should do about it.
If a screwed up receiver rejects your message, just resend it to
their real email in the DSN.
