It assumes that you really are SRS'ing all outbounds, therefore
any bounce not SRS (in addition to those with bad SRS) is
de-facto not valid.
If the "all outbounds" does not hold in your configuration
then you would need more complexity for this element.
Hello,

There is progress. ;-)

inbound_srs_failure only handles addresses with valid SRS-syntax (That
is what I missed before.) that have not been grabbed by inbound_srs,
i.e. they have a wrong checksum or fail the timestamp < 10 day check.
These message are rejected with a nice error message.

So afaiui the whole point of this router is to produce a nice error
instead of a generic "Unrouteable address".
That was my guess too.

 - Does this make sense?
When SPF/SRS came out there was concern that SRS had a relay attack,
so showing SRS errors separately would have been desired.
