Magento Email Addresses

I am at a loss in not finding this info.
Assuming all the transactional emails go out on a cron job, but they are coming from different departments - sales/shipping etc, so different email accounts so different smtp credentials, but I can't see where to enter them in?
In the 'Store Email Addresses' config section, it just has 'Sender Name' and 'Sender Email', but no password field.
If I leave that blank surely the mail server is going to be vulnerable?

Thanks for that. But I still don't understand where I enter in the password for the email account? I can't send a 'from' without the password for the email account as far as I know.

Have you tested it? I believe Magento is sending emails on behalf of that address.

This is what I don't understand. A mail server doesn't have a login just each email address+mailbox AFAIK. So how do I enter the password for the different senders?
