Multiple SMTP servers in domain - use based on # of recipients

Hi,
      We have a single exch 2003 server.
   We have 10-15 users that send out large broadcast's to approx. 600-1000 people at a time. This usually causes long delays for all emails to be delivered to their destinations.
   Is there a way where I can have multiple SMTP servers, so that when a broadcast is sent, it would use "SMTPB" dynamically, without any user intervention? Normal emails can go through "SMTPA"

Thanks in advance

Simon,
  Do you recommend any bulk emailing prgrams that fit in easily into a exchnge environment?
Thanks.
The main one I tend to suggest is Lyris. That manages everything and even includes a web interface. Can be a little pricey, but sat on its own box it is SQL backed and can be left to get on with things.

You could also look at GFI Mail Essentials. That has some list functionality built in.

There aren't any that really integrate int to Exchange as the limitations are still there with the SMTP handling. What you need is a tool with its own SMTP engine that it manages for you. Google mass email applications, as there are lots of them out there.

You could also outsource, then you don't have to worry about the management side.

Simon.
