Doesn't seem so.

sourceforge is testing my box 2 (up to 4) times whenever I send a
mail to them. I now unsubscribed from their mailing lists, this
seems to be too stupid (they don't want to use dsn.rfc-ignorant.org).

PS: they test 2 times for envelope and header sender address,
even though both MX records point to the same machine.
Sometimes they test 4 times, I don't know why...
