No. You can only have one SMTP server per account.

However, you can use Paul Berkowitz's free "SMTP Location" script to program
different SMTP servers for different locations.

Another option is to enable Sendmail or Postfix (depending on what
version of the system you're running) and use your own Mac as your SMTP
no matter where you are...
The easy way is to use the "sendmail" or "postfix enabler" sharewares.
Alternatively, you can do it manually (instructions for Postfix under
10.3 are here:
http://www.entourage.mvps.org/exchange/postfix.html ).

I checked out Postfix but it won't work if the ISP blocks port 25 (which is
quite common nowadays). Since I'm a Powerbook user I have to use different
accounts depending on if I'm at home or at work. Any other solution to this?

See, the SMTP Location AppleScript.

That's definitiely the way to go. I guess I got lucky that none of the
ISPs I use ever blocked port 25 :-\

Ok, I downloaded it and tried it out. It seems to work fine, but there is
one thing I don't understand how to achieve.

I have a .Mac account and a "Work" account to send and receive mail.

When I am in my office I want to use the .Mac smtp server for the .Mac
account and my "office smtp server" for my Work account.

When at home I need both accounts to use the smtp server of my ISP who does
not allow other smtp servers.

How can set it up so that the .Mac account swithes between the .Mac smtp
server and my ISP smtp server, whilst having my Work account switching
between my office smtp server and my ISP smtp server?

I've only managed to set up one smtp server per location which will be used
for all accounts. As far as I can see there is no possibility to have
separate sets of smtp servers for different accounts, or is there?

You'll have to edit the AppleScripts and adapt it for the specificities
of your accounts :-\
