It's important to note that it is not the recipient servers "fault" for 
rejecting hard (the record contains: "-all") SPF failures. It's the "SENDER 
Policy Framework" - in other words the receiving server is rejecting mail as 
required by the sender's policy (misconfigurations notwithstanding). It's the 
duty of any good mail admin to do so IMHO.

The solution is to use SRS, as previously described. Don't do this unless the 
message in question passes your own SPF tests. If you don't make these checks 
then you need to, as otherwise you'll SRS-up all sorts of rubbish (and 
possibly generating backscatter from your server). Don't use SRS where the 
SPF record contains "+all". Good also to set up a domain (and SPF record) 
explicitly for the purpose.
