[MlMt] Selecting default SMTP server

[Ralph Alvy]

To pull down method that Bill was talking about was in the FROM field for the account. Not the SMTP.

Is there really a problem if I own both Tuffmail and Fastmail accounts and just place my Fastmail SMTP server in my Tuffmail settings? I want this to be automatic, not having to remember to choose the SMTP server using Antonio's method. For some reason, Mailmate defaults to using my Tuffmail SMTP server, even if I choose the FROM acct to be Fastmail. Unless, of course, I use Antonio's method.

But all my mail is coming to my Fastmail account. What would be wrong with putting my Fastmail SMTP server in my Tuffmail account setup? I never CHOOSE an act to send from. I just tell Mailmate to do a New Message.

This is good because on the modern Internet, it is not feasible to send mail claiming to be from a particular address through any arbitrarily chosen mail server. It might work, but more likely your mail would be rejected or worse: dropped silently.
