I have just created a POP3 account with only SMTP for this particular
purpose and its much easier and much quicker that way then to run the
script and type the address all the time, unless you are changing
your FROM on a daily basis

A couple years back one of the scriptmeisters on this list -- and I
apologize for not being able to remember right now -- wrote the
following script for me:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate
display dialog "Enter the return email address you wish to use:"
default answer ""
set theAddress to the text returned of the result
if theAddress is not "" then
set email address of POP account "DummyAccount" to theAddress
if class of the front window is draft window then
set theWindow to the front window
save theWindow
set theMsg to displayed message of theWindow
else
set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
end if
set the account of theMsg to POP account "DummyAccount"
end if
end tell
I’ve saved it to my Entourage Script Menu Items folder as “Dummy
Account \ocD” so that I can activate it by pressing Control+Option+D.
Next, create a new “send-only” account in Entourage (in other
words, you don’t have to fill in the “Receiving mail” section of
the account dialog); name the new account “DummyAccount.”
Now whenever you want to send a message from a particular email
address, choose the script from Entourage’s script menu, or press
the keyboard shortcut; a dialog will appear asking you what address
you want to use as your return address. Then choose DummyAccount
from the From pop-up in your outgoing message.
The only caveat here is that you have to run the script before you
choose the account in the From menu; if you don’t, and you save the
message while you’re composing it, Entourage will use the previous
return address instead of the new one.
Hope this helps!
