You do need to set up the account for each From: address, and it's a 
roundabout way to specify what outbound server to use (if you need to use 
different servers for each account).  But if there are a limited number of 
addresses you would send from, it could be an option.  If many accounts 
would be needed, it would be very cumbersome.

I suppose something could be scripted that creates a text file that could 
then be dumped on a mail server via port 25 that filled in the Mail from: 
and header from: information on the fly.
