How to get KMail to use DHCP smtp-server option

I am using KDE (with KMail) on a laptop, and I move around a lot from network
to network replying largely on DHCP to get my configuration.

My DHCP client quite happily updates default gateways and routing, but does 
not update where KMail wants to send mail.

My ISP does not support authenticated SMTP sending, so instead I have to use
the very common relay rule that says that anything that comes from within 
our network is relayable, but KMail does not support this kind of dynamic
finding of the SMTP server prefering instead to use the server that has to be
configured into the KMail network settings.

Are there any plans to include this kind of functionality?
