Does your campus support authenticated SMTP? If so, have you tried using
your campus' SMTP server as an outgoing server for both accounts?
On my campus, we currently allow all mail through our authenticated SMTP
server gateway, even if it's mail for an ISP account. ISPs in the area don't
do this. (In fact, one blocks all outgoing mail traffic that doesn't go
through their own SMTP server, so that blocks access to our campus SMTP
server, too ... and that sort of thing would block Postfix on your computer,
as well.)
If you can use your campus' gateway from both locations and all of your
accounts, I would do that.
Another alternative is to write a short AppleScript to change your SMTP
server settings back and forth. Something like:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to set the SMTP server of every
account to "smtp.my-current-isp.com"
Having two such scripts would basically let you toggle back and forth.
Depending on your SMTP setups, you may need to do a little more work to get
each server configured correctly from the script.
