See SRS. A simple explanation.

To me it says when nabble forwards the email to the mailing list, using <a_name@gmx.net> as the sender (ie spoofing) it needs to do  SRS which changes the from envelope  to <SRS0+hash=timwstamp=a_name=gmx.net=nabble_user_number_or_name?@nabble.com>   <<=something to tie back to the originator.

Given user=nnnn is used elsewhere, like;
forum.openscad.org/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=nnnn

More to it for handling bounced mails, but it seems pretty simple, and there appear to be directions for setting it up for the various MTAs.

So no SPF DNS required for nabble.com or openscad.org, that is only for sites who want to stop other spoofing, so possibly something to do, but not part of fixing this issue.
