Explanation
While multiple methods exist for directing messages through a specific virtual gateway (interface group, altsrchost command, or envelope sender mapping), applying a message filter (D) offers the most flexibility. Message filters allow engineers to write complex conditional logic - matching on headers, body content, sender, recipient, reputation scores, and more - and then apply the 'alt-src-host' action to route matching messages through a specific virtual gateway. This far exceeds the flexibility of static interface group assignments or simple sender-to-host mappings.
