One of the fundamental premises of SPF is that domain owners have the right to
decide what are the authorized/legitimate sources of e-mail for their
domains. If the domains are not yours and have SPF records then you really
only have three options:

1. Convince the domain owner to add your server to their list of authorized
servers (their SPF record).

2. Start sending mail from that domain using an authorized server.

3. Stop using the domain.

I expect your success with #1 above will be limited, so you probably need to
decide if you want to do #2 or #3.
