This is more than a "wrapper"...it's more like a full application layer proxy. The good news is that for e-mail, an application layer proxy is simply an e-mail server (MTA). I wouldn't try to set this up on the firewall box...instead I'd suggest you simply install your favorite e-mail server (sendmail, exim, qmail, whatever) on an internal server, using your preferred server platform. You could even use exchange, but then you're out not only the money for a high-powered system (linux solutions can run on much less hardware than exchange), but the license cost of M$ software, as well. Configure the new internal e-mail server to forward all mail to your existing SMTP server, and allow relaying from the local network. Configuring mail delivery via SMTP-auth varies based on your mail-server platform...see the specific documentation for your mail server of choice for details on setting up SMTP-Auth on outbound traffic...
