He recently told me this was implemented and I think it autocompletes
from your ~/.sup/contacts.txt, so you'll have to add entries there.

Here's how I'm doing it.

I used to use nbsmtp, but not I'm using msmtp.

I actually send mail out through different smtp servers for each
account (through various ssh port forwards, etc), so I set up my
~/.msmtprc with multiple accounts defined.

In ~/.sup/config.yaml:

:accounts:
  :someaccount:
    :sendmail: msmtp --account=[NAME_OF_ACCOUNT_IN_SMTPRC] -t
