This might be possible with Posting Styles if your e-mails with
different senders are in different groups.  See variable
gnus-posting-styles and the info page to which it points.  To me,
the following part seems promising.  Note that the body string could
be a function call that produces a secure tag.
 
             ((posting-from-work-p) ;; A user defined function
              (signature-file "~/.work-signature")
              (address "user@bar.foo")
              (body "You are fired.\n\nSincerely, your boss.")
              ("X-Message-SMTP-Method" "smtp smtp.example.org 587")
              (organization "Important Work, Inc"))
