There never were any correct assumptions, which is why the RFC says you
can't reject based on your second-guesses. Even if a server handling
virtual domains has separate MX IPs for receiving mail, there is no
requirement that it has to use corresponding IP or HELO name when
sending - or that sending to other sites even be handled by the same host.
