There was some discussion of this not long ago, but the only possible
solutions/workarounds:

- You could adjust your SPF record to be ?all instead of -all
This would allow remote servers that reject email based on SPF to
probibly not do so. 

- Someone could implment a rewriting service for these emails.
I'd be happy to help answer questions and deploy things for someone(s)
that would like to do this, but I don't personally want to commit to
doing it.

- Someone could write some kind of script that gets all the emails from
src.fedoraproject.org and lets you email them directly. Something like
this could be included in fedora-packager

Of course all these have downsides (spf changes might mean others get
more spam pretending to be from your domain, the rewriting service could
be used to spam-wash emails, the script could be used to gather emails
to spam people with, etc).

Sorry there's no clear fix.
