Only if the filter also blocks all email from mailing-lists.
Which does happen sometimes, unless it's a "known" mailing-list for the
recipient. Eg, Hotmail's default settings.
Since traditionally the envelope sender hasn't been visible by the time
the filters run, it wasn't a problem. It's likely to become more of a
problem as time goes on, with filtering happening inside the MTA before
returning a response to the "." at the end of a DATA command's
continuation (and Return-path: becoming more common), but hopefully the
move to authenticated message submission will happen at least a little
faster than the more excessive filtering.
