No, the issue is with people sending them email to their address on our
system which is then forwarded on to some remote system - a digitalwest
system in my example, but I'm also concerned with other systems, including
gmail and yahoo, of course.

Do mail providers like digitalwest typically allow forwarding from their
accounts through to other providers? With no easy solution, what do most
providers do?

Is SRS in practical use? Is the general recommendation that it should be
implemented in situations like this, or is disabling forwarding more
common? Is the policy of most systems to reject on SPF fail?

Thanks so much for everyone's help.
