No, any given account can have one SMTP server only. There is no way for
the mail client to determine, which network you are in.
Anyway, there are some possible solutions for this. They all need some
manually tweaking, since *you* can decide which network you are in, but
the the client can't.
a) Use a "made up" alias name as SMTP server, like for example "smtp" or
"smtp.automagic.net". Then add this name to your /etc/hosts file along
with the IP address of the SMTP server you want to use.
b) Change the Evolution account settings using 'gconftool-2'.
The first option can be done during your network gets initialized. Those
scripts already know which network you are in.
Both options can be done at any later time. It's up to you do decide
which network you are in. This can be done automatically, for example
based on your own hostname, your IP address, the default gateway or any
other part of the network that is distinct in both cases.
To automate this process you will need a script, that maybe checks for
the network you are in and then uses one of the options above. If you
need help in this, feel free to ask. However, you should know the
networks you are frequently in.
Unless some stupid admins forgot to offer any way of authentication (the
remote network) or the paranoid admin (local network) simply blocks
outgoing SMTP traffic to servers which are not in his own network, SMTP
authentication is the best way. Unfortunately you did not mention, why
you cannot use the other SMTP server and why you are forced to change
this.
Using SMTP with any kind of authentication, you can use the proper SMTP
for any account regardless of the (local) network you are currently in.
Would this be an option? HTH...
