Bit Late, but do check out  http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/Forwarding

Forwarding does get broken, but a partial solution in whitelisting is
there, though too manual & therefore cumbersome.

Another option http://www.openspf.org/SRS is there to be worked in
conjunction with spf. There is a best spf practices guide on the site. And
all this email authentication issue given on openspf.org makes an
interesting read.

Ciao.
