To send mail, something local on your computer has to speak smtp to other computers. Understood this way, Netscape does not just "switch among multiple smtp servers". It instead is its own smtp server, with only the ability to point to a remote relay (and maybe some smtp auth stuff, I don't know). Mutt leaves this functionality to the local program of your choice and worries about other things itself. You can use something featured like postfix, or just something like ssmtp which (like Netscape) has only the ability to point to a remote relay.
