I just have to point out again that if a message is forwarded to your server, 
that forwarding should have been configured by the recipient himself, or at 
least with his knowledge, so, theoretically at least, it should be possible 
for you to make exceptions for such forwarding.

It's really not that SPF breaks forwarding, it's that the assumption that 
forwarding should work that is broken to begin with.
