Forwarding done by email clients is completely unrelated to the "forwarding
problem" touted by SPF critics.  There is absolutely no problem with
using client forwarding and SPF.

If my incoming messages reach me by 
forwarding, they won't bounce, because they've reached me. Why would you get 
bounces?

Because my email address was forged by the sender, and you didn't bother
to check my SPF record.
