Multiple account smtp issues

I am using Outlook 2003 and have multiple email accounts. Most accounts are
at the same hosting company but are on different servers.

It appears that Outlook chooses a random account/smtp server to send
outgoing email. This is wreaking havoc with my SPF setup.

Example:

A - smtp server=smtp1.yyy.com
B - smtp server=smtp1.zzz.com

A is the default email account in outlook. When I send an email from A it
gets sent through B's smtp server. Thus showing up as "Not Verified" based on
the SPF record.

What I want to do is to make email from A go through A's smtp server and B's
email to go through its smtp server. Outlook doesn't seem to let this happen.

It used to work correctly but recently stopped. Any ideas?

What's the SP level? SP 2 (11.6568.6568)

What did you change between when it worked and now?

The only thing that changed was the location of the .pst file. I keep my
pst in a sub-dir of My Documents and I moved the entire My Documents
directory to a different drive to give it more room. There could have been
an automatic Windows update, but I don't know for sure. It really just
started acting this way out of the blue.

While I don't think it's relevent, did you modify the value of the My
Documents special folder registry setting?

If this were happening to me, I'd start with a fresh mail profile, because
the version of Outlook you show should have had that issue addressed.

Thanks for your help on this Brian. I've created a new profile but it
continues to do the same thing. I don't know if there is a resolution to
this problem other than keeping the offending email account out of the
send/receive group.
