Well mailing list server implementing SRS rewriting seems like a much better solution. Order N instead of order NxM (where I expect M is much larger than N) for starters. Plus it's the mail list servers that are actually causing the problem, if you discount the existence of SPF as being the problem.
It's been a while (10+ years) since I've looked at it, but last time the implementations of SRS were not suitable for a high-volume environment. I think the situation has improved since then though.
I'm not sure I entirely understand the wikipedia article on SRS either. Does it imply that I would receive messages from the list with weird from addresses or is that addressed somehow?
No, it is only the envelope address that will be rewritten.
Most of the mailing lists I'm a member of show the originator's name as 'from'. Does that mean they don't use SRS or that something is munging what it displays to me? openSUSE is the only mail list where I get occasional bounce advices, which I've never understood up until now.
I am subscribed to lists on a few different list servers, since 1 January, I have not seen a single message with SRS0 in the envelope. On our production systems, I see quite a few.
