Does Shibboleth SP have any per-IDP config?

I'm pretty sure the answer is 'no', but I wanted to ask the broader group
just to be certain.
If my Shibboleth SP works with 3 different IDPs, but doesn't work with 3
others (failing in a different way for each of them), it's a pretty safe
bet that the configuration issues are with the IDP, not my SP, right?
I have one IDP that is returning two identical email addresses in the
'mail' attribute. That's causing our application to error out, which we
need to fix since email is a multi-valued attribute. But it's got nothing
to do with my SP.
I have one that isn't authorizing to my application correctly, which is
almost certainly a result of the IDP not releasing the right attributes.
And I have one that, for reasons that truly baffle me, reports that
"InCommon is not releasing the proper attributes." I have no idea what
InCommon would have to do with this - all they do is deliver the metadata
for my SP. Other than that, InCommon is not involved in the interaction,
since I'm no longer using InCommon's Discovery Service.
Anyway, before I tell them all to look at their own IDP configuration, I
thought it would be good to get a quick sanity check from some people that
have actually run an IDP at some point in their life (unlike me...).
Thanks!
