They are well explained in the gnus manual. Very easy.

This isnt a problem. Each one is a different
gnus-secondary-select-method.

I dont really understand what you mean. Some smtp servers (gmail being
one) dont allow you to send from your authenticated smtp using a
different name. Hence msmtp.

msmtp. There are examples on the emacs wiki and in google land.

Here is my setup (somewhat sloppy) :-

,----
| (defun msmtp-account (&optional def)
|   (let* ((from
|           (save-restriction    
|             (message-narrow-to-headers)
|             (message-fetch-field "From")))
|          (account (if from (catch 'match
|                              (dolist (element msmtp-name-list)
|                                ;; (message (format "smpt chosen is %s"
|   element))
|                                (when (string-match (format ".*%s.*"
|   element) from)
|                                  (throw 'match element)))) nil)))
|     (if account account (if def def "default"))))
| 
| (defun msmtp-change-smtp ()
|   
|   (setq sendmail-program "/usr/bin/msmtp")
|   (setq message-sendmail-envelope-from 'header)
|   
|   (if (message-mail-p)
|       (setq message-sendmail-extra-arguments (list "-a" (msmtp-account
|       "default")))))
| 
| (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'msmtp-change-smtp)
`----

And you add the msmtp accounts to msmtp-name-list which match the config
sections in your .msmtprc something like this

,----
| defaults
| host smtp.gmail.com
| port 587
| auth on
| tls on
| tls_certcheck off
| logfile /tmp/msmtp.log
| 
| account riley
| user rileyrg@googlemail.com
| password ***********
| from rileyrg@googlemail.com
| 
| account richardriley
| host smtp.richardriley.net
| port 25
| user rgr
| password **********
| from rgr@richardriley.com
`----

And the setting of msmtp-name-list

,----
| (defvar msmtp-name-list '("root" "richardriley"))
| 
| (add-to-list 'msmtp-name-list "riley" t)
`----

Probably one element in the list for each gnus select method.

Enough to get you started ... it tooks me ages to get this all working
way back when..

It's all manpages and experiment from there  on in .. ;)
