I think you're misunderstanding the situation. They don't list hosts 
that accept SMTP or IRC connections. They list hosts running TOR servers 
which allow TOR clients to use the server for *outgoing* SMTP or IRC 
connections (or the outgoing ports listed on the sectoor page).

They also list other addresses in the same class C range as TOR servers. 
This is relevant because, had you read their page carefully and examined 
your TOR listing, you'd find that 69.55.237.254 isn't listed as an 
alleged TOR server. It's listed because it's within the same class C 
range as the alleged TOR server running on 69.55.237.39.
