mail forwarding is the primary achilles heel of SPF.  There's nothing
fedoraproject.org can do about the SPF records that your domain has
published.  And fedoraproject.org does not currently implement an SPF-
forwarding-enabled service, as it's really quite painful to do.

Perhaps your domain can not specify "-all" (hard fail messages
originating from elsewhere), and instead specify "~all" (this
message didn't come from one of our mail servers, perhaps it needs
additional spam scrutiny).
