I think so, otherwise mail for all nodes in Z5 (with the exception of
5:7105/1) probably won't get routed anywhere.  At least that's what I would
expect to happen.

Probably worth doing just from a safety aspect, in any case.

Depending on the complexity of your routing it might be worthwhile having
multiple route statements just so it's clear in your mind exactly what's
going on when you look at it later:

Route Hold NoRoute 5:7105/1
RouteFile Normal NoRoute 5:7105/1

Route Hold 5:7105/1 5:7105/1
Route Hold 5:7105/1 5:*

Route Hold 5:7105/1 1:*
Route Hold 5:7105/1 2:*
Route Hold 5:7105/1 3:*
Route Hold 5:7105/1 4:*
