You very likely need to be using the iCloud SMTP server to get it to 
work, and even there it might not (I've not tested) because Apple may 
not support sending from those addresses. In the latest test versions 
there's another pull-down next to the From that lets you pick a SMTP 
server.

One thing that might make MM pick the right SMTP configuration (i.e. in 
older versions without the SMTP picker) is if you were to add a wildcard 
pattern to the address configuration of the iCloud account in MM.   It 
uses "regular expression" syntax so '.*' would match any address.
