Indeed look at my headers.
I never use eircom as an SMTP.
On thunderbird I fetch all my mail from a box on the internet. My own 
server at home fetches email from about 10 domains and forwards a copy 
to that.
Then when I compose the "From" in Thunderbird is a drop down list

I have 3 different SMTP I use. A public one (if abroad or at internet 
cafe I might VPN to home and use it), An O2 Mobile one and the "office" 
SMTP in work. A simple matter in Thunderbird Tools Account settings to 
swap the SMTP used, if I need to. I rarely change it.
