Evolution does provide incoming and outgoing filters, let alone

  Edit > Preferences > Composer Preferences > Send account

while I prefer Claws over Evolution, I'm missing several features for
Claws, that actually are provided by Evolution, e.g. something banal as
an outgoing filter.

Usually there a workarounds, for easy to use features provided by other
MUAs, what ever else MUA you are using.

Unless I shouldn't miss something, the outgoing filter provided by
Evolution, should do the job you are asking for.
