How do I set up multiple outgoing smtp servers for same account?

I work from multiple locations and each has a different ISP. Currently I
change the outgoing smtp server based on where I am working. Is there a way
to load all outgoing servers and have Outlook attempt to send using whichever
it can?

Not really. I've written a program for myself that checks my IP address at
startup and sets the SMTP server accordingly. There are utils out there like
NetSwitcher which also can do that.

Thanks for the help. I did a search on products like NetSwitcher and found
a couple that I think I'll try.

I'm trying to help a friend with this exact problem. Can someone send me a
code bit to do what is described above? At least help me with the
appropriate objects to work with? I do mostly Excel programming and don't
know the Outlook object model vary well. BTW... he's still using Outlook
2000, but on XP.

Thanks,
Chris
