So, if you're checking SPF records, and rejecting email that fails an SPF
test (there are other things that you can do with SPF), then you should
offer your end users the opportunity to whitelist a forwarding service that
they use.

The problem lies in communicating with your users, who aren't likely to
know that you do that, or why it's important. It's a reasonable technical
solution, and only you can assess the social implications.
