Thanks all!

Now the reason that I want to use the Event Sink way is because there
is no more need then that... And like said, GFI is no longer. Neither
the doc on Smallbizz.

I know there is a manipulation needed on SMTP level, but I just don't
see it. If somebody knows the little trick (was it an additional
connector or virtual server)...?

Thanks for the other inputs so far.

about the fact that the script can get tricky.

With only that many users, many of those problems might never show up.  We
have a few more users than that (ok, 4 orders of magnitude!), so we see a
lot of weird stuff that is hard to even imagine when you are testing the
code.  :)

The product is probably a better choice, especially if it is cheap.

We really did try to buy a product to do this as we wanted more features and
fewer problems (or someone else to blame them on), but only the script had
reasonable performance.  Everything else brought our gateways to their knees
and had to be disabled.  I was shocked by this actually.  :)
