Yes.  Here's a quote:

That's not what I was talking about.  Obviously if a MTA can't find
the recipient, it won't deliver.  I'm talking about the *other*
recipients, e.g.

To: Foo Bar <f...@example.net>
Cc: Foo Baz <f...@example.net>

If user foo exists but user fbaz does not, you should expect that an
MTA will reject fbaz but deliver that same message to foo.  I'm
talking about a way to cause SpamAssassin (or something else,
whatever) to note the fact that a *different* recipient, fbaz, doesn't
exist, and to read it from the headers rather than the envelope
recipients (the way an MTA does).
