let's say I want to send an email w/ mikesd@xxxxxxxxxxxx that has to go
through my local postfix install. If I try to send that through my isp
it will bounce back because it's not an ISP domain name after @

I don't understand why it has to go through the postfix if you're trying
to set up multiple SMTP addresses in TBird/Evo. And if it does have to
go through postfix, I don't understand why you don't just control it's
onward routing with postfix?

So, the way evolution does this is let's me set smtp servers so so I can
set an email address to each server and then pick them from a drop down
box.

So that's what happens in TBird if you set up two identities on an account.

When I set up accounts on evolution I was able to select outgoing
server only.

A TBird identity has an email address associated with it, but you don't
have to receive mail to that address. i.e. you can treat it as send-only.

Just set up a TBird account with two identities and play with it. You
won't break anything.

Eh. I don't know how else to explain this. I'm just
sticking w/ evo and running filters by hand. That's why I wanted to get
away from evolution, but it's not big deal.

You can do just the same with TBird or it can automatically route some
cases or even more with appropriate plugins as described on that FAQ page.
