Yes, and it is quite effective for greylisting.

I've seen mixed results with greylisting, given that some legit senders have SMTP clients that are, well, problematic. (Nearly lost a consulting gig because the initial query note got mishandled from greylisting.)

It also requires some whitelisting to deal with problematic hosts.
