in order for this scenario to work, either of the following must be true for 
the FORWARDER:
- it implements SRS to rewrite headers
- its IP address is listed in the SPF record of the SENDER as being allowed to 
send in SENDER's name.

If none of the above is true, then the difference between Gmail and the other 
recipient might be how strict they regard SPF failure / problems.
It might only be 'warn' for Gmail while it is 'fail' for others.
