That would leave a gaping barn-door-sized hole in SPF - a forger could
look up the SPF record for the domain he was forging, and add a forged
Received header claiming the message had been originated correctly.

I guess you could apply this rule to a small whitelist of trusted
forwarders, though. But those people should be using SPF/SRS
themselves (mine do).
