I don't know if you are talking about 'internal' smtp. The mx for 
sympatico looks like this from here:

host -t mx sympatico.ca
sympatico.ca mail is handled by 5 toip3.bellnexxia.net.
sympatico.ca mail is handled by 5 toip4.bellnexxia.net.
sympatico.ca mail is handled by 5 toip5.bellnexxia.net.
sympatico.ca mail is handled by 5 toip6.bellnexxia.net.
sympatico.ca mail is handled by 5 toip7.bellnexxia.net.
sympatico.ca mail is handled by 5 toip8.bellnexxia.net.
sympatico.ca mail is handled by 5 toip1.bellnexxia.net.
sympatico.ca mail is handled by 5 toip2.bellnexxia.net.

hope this helps,
