Hi !!
As far as I can see, forwarding DOES break. Suppose a server A sends a
message from domain X to a server B, which is not configured to use SPF.
Server B accepts the message, but the user at server B forwards the
message to server C. Server C is into SPF, so it checks to see if server
B is permitted to send messages from domain X; it isn't, so server C
rejects the message. I call this broken.
Please remember that if that is the case then the owner of the domain X
has published a SPF record that clearly states that email for domain X
must only be accepted from authorized servers. The only broken thing
here is the policy of domain X, domain X could publish a softfail policy
and mail from domain X will be never rejected, no matter the amount of
forwarding servers the email has passed through.
