Anyone know how to get mail to change SMTP servers automatically when I choose a new network location? I'm running OS X 10.4 and it'd be really cool to be able to switch locations without digging around in Mail preferences...

You mean they're blocking outgoing connections where the remote port is 25? That's extremely retarded... well, maybe that's a really good idea.

What's the problem? Won't any network you're on have a valid smtp server that will accept outgoing? Is the problem setting up automatic detection of which network you're on to pick the right outgoing mail server?

The problem is that Mail.app doesn't seem to know when I've changed networks -- I'd like it to pick an SMTP server associated with the current network (provided once by me) rather than having me choose it manually every time.
