Route outgoing SMTP traffic to different connectors

I have a single server Exchange 2007 organization with multiple send connectors. I am trying to figure out a way to either set permissions by user for outgoing SMTP traffic on the send connectors, or to find a way to route and filter by headers to the send connectors. Barring either of those, I'd like to find a 3rd party solution that would allow me to route SMTP traffic to different smarthosts depending on From: and/or Reply-To: headers.

Example:
Messages sent from User1 should always exit the organization through Send Connector A
Messages sent from any other user should always exit the organization through Send Connector B.

Any way to accomplish this in Exchange 2007?

So I figured. As an alternate solution then, are there any lightweight service-based applications or servers that can do this? For example, a service that monitors a port for SMTP traffic, filters messages by specific header filters and ships them off to specified smarthosts (with TLS authorization).

Woops - when I said "used a SMTP Send Connector" what I meant was "used a SMTP Routing Agent"

darnoldlinde,

I have what I believe is the same requirement. Although I am using SBS 2003. I need to use a different USERNAME and PASSWORD for each sender in the domain. There are only 5. We must send them thru a specific ISP/smart host for compliance reasons. The host is very picky and will only accept mail with a from address that matches the USERNAME and PASSWORD of that user. Could you give me a few more specifics of how you aacomplished this, perhaps I can adapt this to SBS 2003.

Thanks very much for the help,
Dave
