I think this is folly. It's a chicken game, with four states:
1A - forwarders use SRS, recipients do not enforce SPF
1B - forwarders use SRS, recipients enforce SPF
2A - forwarders operate traditionally, recipients do not enforce SPF
2B - forwarders operate traditionally, recipients enforce SPF
3 - forwarders use their own address in the RFC2821 Mail From.
If A sends a mail to B and B forwards it to C, it is B not A who is
sending the mail to C. Once B (or rather a server referenced in B's MX
records) has accepted the mail during the SMTP session, B has also
accepted responsibility to deliver the mail[1]. So any delivery problems
between B & C should be reported to (and resolved by) B not A.
[1] And if C further forwards it to D, then C takes over responsibility
to deliver it.
