I forgot the name of the variable, that's why I used FOO.  I suggest
that you try this:

M-: (make-local-variable 'smtpmail-smtp-server) RET
M-: (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "other-server") RET

You could also try smtpmail-default-smtp-server instead of
smtpmail-smtp-server.

Please put in the right server name instead of other-server.
