Yes, I do think there is a legitimate need for this. More and more of our outgoing
email is getting caught in spam filters. Some of our customers want to send the mail
through their servers because they do less traffic, and beleive they would be able to
get the messages through.

No, you cannot smarthost based on sender information.

Nope.

In theory, you could write a SendName that appends '@[1.1.1.1]' to the
recipients of selected messages, using the 'percent hack' to create a
source-routing setup. But do these people really have a need for this?
Why send wildcard outgoing mail through another hop? Do they need a
copy (if so, that can be accomplished through other means)?
