Yes, however it does not enforce the privileged port rules, that is,
the source port does not have to be between 721 and 731.

cups-lpd currently does not support the I (indent), M (mail), S
(symlink), W (width), 1 (troff R font), 2 (troff I font), 3 (troff
B font), 4 (troff S font), or z (Palladium hook) control commands.

CUPS 1.2 will add support for M (mail).
