This isn't working for me. Let me explain my MTA configuration as
well. May be that give some more clue.

I have configured 'postfix' to send email via couple of SMTP servers:
- smtp.gmail.com 587
- smtp.office365.com 587
- smtp.zoho.com

I have a mapping to specify which mail-server to use for which
email-id. And corresponding credentials are saved in postfix
configuration.

Now in Gnus, when I press m to launch message buffer for a new message,
It starts with

From: p4j@j4d.net

This is my default user-mail-address in Gnus/Emacs configuration. Now
when I call gnus-alias-select-identity <RET> opt <RET> to select
pankaj.jangid@optimizory.com as "from" address, it fills the headers
correctly. But when I send email (C-c C-c), it uses the SMTP server
associated with p4j@j4d.net, which was the original "from" address.

X-Message-SMTP-Method works. But this asks me for the username password
etc. I want to use "sendmail" method. How to ask "sendmail" to use
correct mail-server?

When I launch message buffer from the respective group (pressing m key),
it works fine. It picks the right SMTP server.
