I cannot help directly as I don't use emacs for the smtp end, using
msmtp instead.  However, I can suggest that the name of the system in
the authinfo file need not be the actual host name.  You could have

  machine nsivaramgmail login ...
  machine shangmail login ...

I do this for retrieving email from two different gmail accounts.  For
fetching, it's a case of specifying a name for the server which matches
the name given in the authinfo file:

  (nnimap "nsivaramgmail" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com") ...)

etc.  Whether you can do the same for sending, I am not sure, but it
wouldn't surprise me knowing that everything is possible in gnus ;-)
