For me MultipleSMTPAccounts¹ works quite well in Emacs-bzr. SMTP-info is
determined based on From.  From in turn is set explicitly or to the
expected values in e.g. replies.  Psk is fetched from .authinfo.gpg.  At
the moment I have four SMTP servers and six accounts.

Anyhow, I guess a more integrated way of handling SMTP servers would
probably be nice.  I know that very issue kept me away from Gnus for
some years.
