I am trying to domain keys sign mails relayed by our server for our
customers mails. This is a newsletter and the From: Header is not our
control. I can however control the envelope from and can use dkim
signatures for the mail. 

I was looking at the code of dkim-milter and was able to "patch" it to
use the envfrom to extract user & domain instead of Sender: of From:

What I want to know ... is it a standard practice to do sign using any
domain. What are restrictions. 

There would be a lot of reasons for dkim-signing using envfrom. For eg
this mailing list could sign its mails using signatures of
lists.sourceforge.net
