Not sure if I got you right, but here is what I'm doing for mailinglists.

In .slrnrc:
#v+
interpret headers.sl
#v-
cat $SLRNHOME/macros/headers.sl
#v+
define group_settings()
{
  if (0 == strncmp (current_newsgroup(), "linux.", 6)
  	| 0 == strncmp (current_newsgroup(), "gmane.", 6)) 
  {
    set_string_variable("username", "lists");
    set_string_variable("hostname", "news.robgri.de");
    set_string_variable("replyto", "");
    set_string_variable("custom_headers", "Mail-Copies-To: never");
    set_string_variable("followup_custom_headers", "Mail-Copies-To: never");
  }
  else
  {
    set_string_variable("username", "spam");
    set_string_variable("hostname", "robgri.de");
    set_string_variable("replyto", "Robert Grimm <[email protected]>");
    set_string_variable("custom_headers", "");
    set_string_variable("followup_custom_headers", "");
  }
}
() = register_hook ("pre_article_mode_hook", "group_settings");
#v-

A very simple approach, but you get the idea.
