No, not quite. :-)
opensuse.org, for instance, will only accept email which destination is mail list, employers, or whoever holds an @opensuse.org address. Or maybe others for which this is the handling server. Without authentication.
But it will refuse to accept an email which destination is carlos@tlefonica.net, because that would be acting as a relay for improper usage.
gmx.es will accept without authentication emails for *@gmx.es, but if someone attempts to send to carlos@telefonica.net will ask for authentication; if this fails, the post will be denied.
It is quite simple, actually. The port used has no relevance, the behaviour is basically the same.
