In the article posted at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7328 Meng
Wong states:

The people who developed SPF use eBay, too, and they don't want to lose
e-mail any more than you do. So they came up with a hack. They set up a
whitelist that identifies all these legitimate forgers;
pobox.com<http://pobox.com>is on the list, as are
acm.org <http://acm.org>, eBay and the newspaper Web sites that do
"e-mail me this article".

So how does a legitimate e-mail forwarding service get on this
whitelist?

See <http://www.trusted-forwarder.org>.

Be aware however that not all receivers who check SPF actually use that 
whitelist.  The T-F whitelist is not a part of the SPF specification.

(BTW, I wouldn't call it an "SRS whitelist", because it has nothing to do 
with SRS.  It _could_ be considered an "SPF whitelist", though.)
