Wow, I hope that's not true. The SPF site leaves me with the impression that the DNS record checking, Received-SPF header, SMTP AUTH, and SRS are all pieces which can be implemented in steps and should not fail when all steps are not yet implemented. I have the impression that if a server is rejecting messages because SRS is not implemented on the sending server, that's a bad implementation on their part and not the fault of the sender or sending server.
Honestly, I don't yet see the benefit to SRS because it seems like a huge hassle, requiring servers to be re-architected. If SPF is designed to fail without SRS, then I don't see how it will ever succeed.
