msmtprc can be configured to picks accounts based on the envelop sender
specified by git send-email.
I make sure my email address in the git commits is correct and use
use envelopesender=auto for git send-email when using msmtp.
Config examples below:
----------- ~/.gitconfig ---------------
[sendemail]
smtpserver = /usr/bin/msmtp
envelopesender = auto
---- /path/to/project_a/.git/config ----
[user]
email = [email protected]
---- /path/to/project_b/.git/config ----
[user]
email = [email protected]
------------ ~/.msmtprc ----------------
account a
host ...
from [email protected]
user a
password ...
auth ...
account b
host ...
from [email protected]
user b
password ...
auth ...
