Subject: Outgoing SMTP server

Hello,

Is it possible to define an outgoing
SMTP server that depends on your "From:"
address or Role?

I have a few providers for mail and
some of them check the "From:" and if
its not local, they refuse to relay.

No, you can try adding all your smtp servers in the "smtp-server"
variable. Another thing you can try is to apply a patch that you can get
from my web page called "Define your own rules..", which among other
things allows you to do this. After applying the patch all you need to do
is to add a rule, like below to the smtp-rules variable:

[email-masked]} => _SMTP_{use.this.server}

 .. I get around that by just running my own mail server on my local
machine.  If you're not on a dialup connection or otherwise likely to be
blocked from doing so, and on a unix type system, it may be a possibility.
Downsides:  A mail isn't really 'sent' when it's accepted, you can't hit
send from a laptop and then unplug the laptop knowing the mail is on the
way, if it's still sitting in the outbound queue.
