Routing oubound email to various SAP instances.

Hi Experts ,

This may sound nave ,however I am looking for your advise on the below queries.

We have scenario where we want certain emails to be routed to their respective SAP instances/boxes/client from exchange server .

For example ,

xyz @ crm . com to sap 1 system port 25000

abc @ crm .com to sap 2 system  port 25001

We have multiple production systems and want emails to be routed as per the mail boxes they are catering to . Is this achievable ?

Also is there a limitation to number of SMTP send connectors that can be created ? My current understanding is every routing to respective sap instance will take one send connector ?

What is the roadmap for SMTP , as we have been informed that way forward is EWS ?

Thanks in advance.

Exchange routing is *domain* based only, you can't route specific emails to different routes if they are in the same domain (unlike postfix). You could however add a postfix routing gateway between your Exchange and SAP instances, you'll have only one SMTP domain and send connctor in Exchange, and the routing by email will be done trough postfix transport table.

On Exchange another way would be MX routing, which prove more simple and robust trough time. You create a CRM.COM DNS zone, and for each instance you add a subzone like instance1.CRM.COM with a MX record pointing to your SAP gateway. All the routing will be done trough DNS for *@instance1.crm.com and you'll have only one SendConnector in Exchange. You can't overide the default SMTP port this way however.
