How about we have a compromise?  You have a default SMTP server,
configured in the "Settings", with the ability to override the default
for specific accounts.  That way, you have the single location, with
holes poked for special cases.  The only problem is that now you have
SMTP server configuration information stored in two different locations,
but it does give everyone the flexibility they are looking for.
