Not necessarily. But I haven't yet heard of any meaningful attempt to
implement something like that. Obviously with IPv4; way too many
"legacy" mail servers exist that will never bother to implement new
protocols and practice improvements ---- even basic things, such as SMTP
rejecting invalid recipients instead of sending unsolicited bounce replies =
to senders (forged by spammers).
