Yes, but we must not forget temporary addresses. If the MTA has temporary

Why would you use temporary address on a defined SMTP server?
Mostly because it's on by default. Even if you configure a static address
and default gw, as soon as the system sees RAs it might start to use SLAAC
based privacy addresses for outgoing connections. I've already seen this
happen once, which caused problems sending mail to google.
