Yup. You need SRS.

From:    http://www.openspf.org/SRS
SPF "breaks" email forwarding. SRS is a way to fix it.


I suggest you read experimental-spec.txt, in the exim docs folder. I think that has about everything you need to know. On my CENTOS server it is at /usr/share/doc/eximxxxx/doc.

Try exim -bV in a shell. You may already have SRS compiled in. Experimental_SRS was automatically included in the prebuilt exim I installed via yum. But I don't do any forwarding so don't have any need for it, and haven't paid much attention to it beyond knowing the above.

Basically, hnothall@gmail is sending mail to [email protected] (which
I host) which has a simple Forwarder to send e-mail to five other
addresses, including [email protected]

 From following the above links, I get the impression that I need to
compile SRS in with Exim?
Is there anything else I need to do? Change to exim.conf?
Find a different rabbit hole to jump into?

I run Gentoo with Exim-4.84.

I have been experimenting with SFP, DKIM and DMARC stuff - but have so
far not touched the machine that is involved above (160.124.208.1).

I'd love to see an example exim.conf that included all of the new magic.
