Why would you want to use smtp.gmail.com, rather than the SMTP server that matches your From address?

My main concern is having the outgoing email archived by Gmail, preferably in Gmail's Sent Messages folder.

Right now I have Emacs/Gnus configured to get mail via POP3 on Gmail, and upload a copy of outgoing messages to an IMAP folder on Gmail. I'd prefer a cleaner/quicker option.
