Thanks for all the help folks. Just wanted to make sure I was doing the right stuff. This is a basic company email server, supporting some small opt-in lists (developers, users, communities that sort of thing) - haven't been blacklisted yet - and the new IP seems to be clean as well.
I seem to have the DNS set up now, waiting for a PTR record to propagate - and now dealing with working out the nits of wiring together all the pieces of the mail software. (FYI - Modoboa seems to do a good job of automatically installing and configuring a complete set of software - postfix, dovecot, clamav, etc. - modulo a few nits that seem to be tweaked manually. Last time around, I did it all manually - and boy was that a pain.)

SPF and DKIM will be super easy. Multiple domain support in OpenDKIM is very easy, in particular. I manage outbound mail for multiple domains from my own Postfix server. Ultimately, the tech bits are going to be easy. The harder part is, if you have users, is making sure one of them doesn't spam, impeding the ability for the others to get their mail delivered. In other words, if customer #1 annoys Comcast and causes a block at 2:30 pm, the next person to try to send mail at 2:45 pm, even if they're not a spammer, is going to see their mail rejected. You'll want to monitor for rejections and be prepared to request unblocking and/or sanction misbehaving customers as needed.
