The short answer is it depends on your firewall rules.
The long answer is if the sender configured their routing to point localhost to your host then your service would still connect and route traffic back to the foreign address. But this type of attack can easily be firewalled against.
There is also the potential problem of reverse proxies. However that requires local machine access anyway.
