I don't believe this has anything to do with the problem. Outgoing
mail servers and incoming MX servers are often different, and anyone
trying to use this for spam detection will suffer lots of false
positives. And I really don't believe the big email providers would do
something that stupid.

(If the OP publishes SPF records things are obviously different.)

FWIW, I've been running RT for many years without any kind of
smarthost setup. No problems.
