I'm doing something similar. I host multiple domains on a single linode node. I have it configured to forward email from those domains to my personal Gmail account.
I have Gmail filters configured to label the messages based on what email address they were sent to. I also have Gmail configured so that I can send mail as any of those addresses through Gmail. Having everything go into a single bucket that I can organize drastically simplifies things for me. One example, is that I have my iPhone set to receive push Gmail, so all my mail accounts push directly to my phone. I hope this is helpful.
