email server - SPF broken by forwarding on the recipient side : what do?

I run an SMTP server with SPF enabled, and I need to email users from a list of academic addresses. Thing is, these addresses are used to forward emails to the end user. And SPF breaks forwarding, as I figured out the hard way (554 5.7.9 errors from Yahoo).



As far as I can think, I am left with few options :




  1. Ask sysadmins to implement SRS or other workarounds.

  2. Add these MX domains as authorized SPF domains ;

  3. (Temporarily ?) disable SPF.




All these options have serious downsides. Are there other options ?
