Use multiple SMTP servers with one email address in Mail.app
Authored by: fixmacs on Jun 16, '05 07:34:32PM

None of the above measures are necessary to send mail from your "Home" account from work or almost anywhere else. It' s incredibly simple. No AppleScripts or third-party hacks are required.

Edit your SMTP server settings for auththentication. Done.

That's right, you're done. Contact your e-mail provider. Ask them for the "Authenticated SMTP settings" for your e-mail account using the designated alternative port (not the default port 25. this is often port 587, but not universally), then enter those setting in Mail.app. Configure your account for authenticated SMTP once, and you can send mail from home, or work, or Aunt Matilda's house at your convenience. You're done.
