Yes. I'll refine my scenario above:
his user -> his server
his server -> your server
your server -> some other server
The recipient at the other server has set up mail forwarding.
It so happens that the forwarding is to a mailbox on your server.
So we end up with some other server -> your server.
Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time. :-)
