Maybe....maybe not....

I just checked the logs from one client.  There were multiple spam with
email addresses of yahoo.com, yahoo.co.jp, and hotmail.com.  In all
cases they were sent from IP address totally unrelated to those domains
and all were prevented from entering the system.

This one particular client doesn't use whitelists and they don't
experience any delays in delivery from those domains simply because they
have been populated in the DB and due to the frequency they connect
those records don't expire.

Oh, FWIW, there is no such thing as an "outbound MX host".  :-)
