Theoretically even a relay can do this for spam checking or whatever. Not sure if there are relays doing this.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I am wondering how to check that 🤔

If the relay does it by itself the IP address crawling around can match the IP of the relay itself, but of course it can also outsource the job to another server, or even use a different IP for it.
