If you have a complex @acronym{SMTP} setup, and want some messages to
go via one mail server, and other messages to go through another, you
can use the @samp{X-Message-SMTP-Method} header. These are the
supported values:
@table @samp
@item smtpmail
can use the @samp{X-Message-SMTP-Method} header to override the
default by using the keyword @samp{smtp} followed by the server
information:
@example
X-Message-SMTP-Method: smtp smtp.fsf.org 587

name when authenticating. This is handy if you have several
@acronym{SMTP} accounts on the same server.
@item sendmail
This header may also be used to specify an alternative MTA by using a
@samp{mailer} keyword, where @samp{mailer} is the name of an MTA with
a corresponding @code{message-send-mail-with-'mailer'} function. For
example:
@example
X-Message-SMTP-Method: sendmail
@end example
This will send the message via the locally installed sendmail/exim/etc
installation.
