There is ... but it's a bit fiddly. As far as I can tell, it's not
officially documented anywhere, but Benny is very good at not breaking
things.
I don't know how I figured this out. The archives of this mailing list,
presumably. :)
You need to set this up with MailMate closed.
1. Add to ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Submission.plist
{ name = "Some name that makes sense to you";
serverURL = "smtp://[email protected]";
},
The plist may be in another format (xml, json...). If it's a binary
file,
use plutil(1) to convert it to a plain text format. Whatever format
the
file is in, check it with "plutil -lint Submission.plist" after
changing.
2. Add to ~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Identities.plist
{ emailAddresses = "[email protected]";
name = "Example User";
serverURL = [copy this from your existing identity];
smtp = "smtp://[email protected]";
},
This file may also be in a different format. Follow whatever format
it's
in and check with "plutil -lint Identities.plist" after making
changes.
3. Maybe optional ... maybe not ... enable an SMTP server dropdown
Run "defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmSMTPAlternativeEnabled
-bool YES"
This will add a new dropdown to pick the SMTP server in the editor.
In
theory, with the configuration above, MailMate should be smart
enough to
pick smtp.example.net when you send mail from [email protected], but
this lets you pick the server explicitly.
If the selector gets in your way, and it looks like MailMate is
smart
enough, you can disable this again after testing.
Interestingly Fastmail do provide exactly this facility in their (very
good) webmail interface, but when I tried switching to that, I
realised that, good as it is, it isn't Mailmate... :-)
Fastmail is smart enough to use the correct SMTP server even when you
send from MailMate. :-)
