I'm not sure I'd advocate using my technique with it all in regexes, now
that we have 'proper' code to do it without making your eyes bleed when
you read the config file. Surely you must be able to pass it through a
router using the built-in srs facility _conditionally_?

But really, the subtext was "don't bother". If you implement SPF, it's
not your _own_ mail servers you need SRS on; it's the rest of the world.
Good luck with that :)
