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.)

Best,

Miles

Subject: Re: [mailop] best practice - one server, one IP, multiple domains?

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.

Cheers,
Al Iverson
