People have been forwarding mail about as long as there has been
electronic mail. The fact that SPF can't describe forwarded mail is a
failure of SPF, not of mail. One of the reasons that DMARC allows
either SPF or DKIM validation is that DKIM isn't affected by
forwarding (at least not by normal forwarding.)

What's really strange is that the guy who invented SPF ran pobox.com
which is a mail forwarding service.  I never understood what he was thinking.
