This is all absolutely correct, but also useless, as sending mail to SRS address leads nowhere.

That's a broken SRS setup then, if it doesn't handle responses to the sender address there will be some lost mail. Vacation and similar auto responses are _required_ to reply to the SMTP sender address.
