my advice would be to use nognus and the built in multi smtp support.

in your .authinfo:

something like:

machine smtp.gmail.com login accid1 port 587 password password1
machine smtp.gmail.com login accid2 port 587 password password2

In your gnus posting styles for the group in question:-

			     (X-Message-SMTP-Method "smtp smtp.gmail.com 587 acc1")

Its there somewhere in the gnus manual. But googling for
x-message-smtp-method will show a previous thread on this.
