You can stop Gnus tickling you by setting the `user-mail-address' to a
default "from" value. That will at least prevent you from getting those
bogus values.
But that won't run the appropriate gnus-parameters, or set any other
headers up.
There have been a few discussions about this on this and other lists
recently. Apparently there are a couple of external packages you can
try: Gnus Pers, and Gnus Alias:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusPers
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusAlias
I haven't tried them, but they are definitely there to solve this sort
of problem...

Thanks. I'll try those out.

The wiki page claims that it can set: "Extra headers - a list of arbitrary header to set (e.g. X-Archive: no)".

I use this for several years now and set the smtp server among many
other things via posting styles:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(setq gnus-posting-styles
'(
(".*"
MY DEFAULT SETTINGS
)
("work:.*"
MY WORK SETTINGS
)
("private:.*"
MY PRIVATE SETTINGS
("X-Message-SMTP-Method" "smtp smtp.someserver.de 587 username")
)))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
The SMTP server used for work is set using the
normal message-send-mail-function.

Yes, that works. But there remain two issues, one major, one more minor
1. When replying to messages like this one, i.e. from a mailing list,
the identity rules seem to fail, as I get a "no match" error, and S W
fails to actually quote in that case. (Though gnus alias seems to arrive
at the correct identity anyway). I'm not sure how to resolve this.
2. The more minor issue is that the message-id isn't correctly set. I
get things like: Message-ID:
<87poxnrpkg.fsf@sushoma.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me>
Setting the organisation in gnus alias doesn't seem to help.
