That's a fallacy unless you have separate physical NICs. The source IP
of  packets coming from a physical NIC will be the primary IP assigned
to  the  NIC in Windows, regardless of secondary IPs also bound to the
card.  This  is  because  the  outbound IMail socket is bound with the
directive INADDR_ANY, which allows Windows to choose the IP. I believe
this was finally fixed in 9.x, but not in your 8.22.

"Authenticate"  with  username  and  password?  Do  you  actually mean
"verify" extant recipients?

You  should  be  able  to  continue  to  use  your  mailbox server for
authenticated mail submission by your users.

Yes,  your  gateway  needs  to maintain a list of remote users on your
mailbox  server  so  it  can reject unknown recipients. Just about any
gateway   solution   worth   its  salt  can  do  this.  For  recipient
verification  +  advanced  anti-abuse  at  the  gateway, there's free,
powerful  SMTP with low-cost ORF anti-spam add-on; a cookbook for free
*nix-based  Postfix,  called  IMGate,  maintained  by  Len Conrad; and
numerous  other  options,  commercial  and free, across all platforms.
First criterion will be your OS preference. After that, you have to be
a  lot  more  specific about your desires. Recipient validation + some
level  of  anti-abuse  basically  *define*  a gateway, so they're in a
sense irrelevant to your spec.
