Why do you want to do this? Your network/company/internet provider's
SMTP server already does exactly that, except it probably does it
better.

multiple smtp servers depending on recipient

[Pawel]

Hallo
when sending emails I want emacs choose different smtp servers based on recipient address.
I imagine that this action should be hooked to mail-send-hook to make it performed automatically.
email address matching would probably be done based on regular expressions.

the only thing user would have to configure would be:

(setq alist-smtp-servers
      '(
	(".*@my.company.com" . ( company smtp server details ))
	(".*@my.school.com" . ( school smtp server details ))
	(".*" . ( general smtp server details ))
	))

I am planning to do such thing, but maybe there is a ready to use solution.

If not, what way would You suggest me to go.

I think I have to dive into sendmail.el file, because I expect there will be a lot of methods I need.
