Bad guess.

Many business email systems are architected this way for security purposes (e.g. Exchange is fine for sending mail out but you really don't want it accepting email from the Internet directly...) This is especially common with older businesses who got generous IPv4 allocations decades ago, however I have worked with mail systems serving less than 500 employee-users of companies with /29 allocations that have mail going out from a shared NAT address but coming in via a dedicated IP.
