Yes, that appears to be what it is doing.

We had no problem receiving different boxes, but the problem was with
sending.

Initially we could not send at all, but under the Apple telephone support,
we deleted all reentered account details. POP and SMTP then worked from
the first server.

Then I entered account details for the second server, and could not send
to that. So I tried sending to the first server which had been working.
Got the response 'User rejected' - it was the user for the second account!

I deleted the second account and the first worked again.

The working account is Zen, our broadband supplier. The second account is
a Unix shell account (arachsys.com) where I have 5 domains hosted and all
the email is processed.

So did you set up two SMTP accounts in Mail, and configure your mail
accounts to use them? Do this using Mail > Preferences > Accounts >
(your account) > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Edit
Server List.

My SMTP accounts are labelled "server:username", eg
"smtp.mac.com:chrisridd", so they're easy to distinguish.

Also when you create a new message you get to choose which account/SMTP
server to use. Double check that's right too.
