My experience is that this seems to not be the case. A relative of mine is
connected via Xtra Broadband and to this day uses Xtra's mail server
smtp.xtra.co.nz to send out mail from _multiple_ domains, none of which either
mail or the domain is hosted with Xtra itself, infact they aren't even .nz
domains...

Of course mail coming in from non Xtra IP addresses to Xtra's mail server is a
different matter and the list you suggested above would be likely to do with
that, but I imagine you know that already :)
