It's neither common nor wise, they just try to force you to use their
SMTP server so they can read your mail and you either cannot use your
provider independent e-mail addresses or their spamming customers can
abuse them too.
It is also a very common problem that a big provider has had some
spamming customers that abused his smtp relay which is therefore
legitimately listed in rbl blacklists.
