Partly, at best. The majority of spam I see here is already sent twice.
Guess why.

This is just brain-dead. If you don't want to receive mail, don't run a
mail-server. The cost for greylisting doesn't hit (in most cases) the
sender of the mail but some third-party servers. Of course this doesn't
bother /you/, but this is antisocial behaviour.
