There are a LOT of MUAs... So if you give text to DSA, im pretty sure 
they are happy to include it (thats how  Colins exim and my postfix 
stuff got there).

For Fairmail (pretty good Android MUA) its inside its Settings, Base 
ones, Identities. Within an identity you can configure individual SMTP 
servers for sending (and much more). Then when you send you can select 
your from and it uses the settings for whichever sender you selected.
In Thunderbird (Desktop) you can configure entire accounts (though 
.debian.org doesnt offer IMAP) and within an account there is a "Manage 
identities" button. Behind it you can add multiple identities and for 
each one you can select the outgoing SMTP server when you send mail 
using this identity.

(Now someone please make this text nicer so it can go on the DSA page)
