Yep, of course.

The  only  course  of action is to ensure that all servers that accept
unauthenticated   mail   for   your  domain  institute  the  same,  or
sufficiently  similar,  anti-DoS and anti-spam defenses. Setting up an
authentication-only,  submission-only  server on port 587 would be the
preferred method for exposing a server to your roaming clients.
