Quarantine (or soft-fail) and query the recipient. Parse the headers in the forwarded message; if a spf-good appears earlier, offer the addressee the option of whitelisting the final relay. The addressee has signed up for the protection, knowing there may be a touch of configuration. Integrate with reputation systems (and refer to documentation strongly suggesting using a SPF-compliant RFC 821 "SRS" envelope instead of a simplified one) in the 450 rejection) and statistical analysis in deciding how to dispose of such messages.
