Only if list owners are stupid enough to use the "reject" feature. I advise 
all my list owners to use "discard and notify" instead. I'd like to have 
proper SMTP time rejection, but - failing that - the notifications of 
discarded messages should include at least the sender email address, so 
that something useful can be done with false positives.
