I know how this can be done, and I do virtual hosting with Apache and
Apache-SSL with a single IP address (distinct web "spaces"). Documentation
on how to do this is pretty good.

As far as I know it can be done with most modern MTAs, including of course
Postfix and QMail. For Postfix you may want to check out
<http://www.postfix.org/rewrite.html#virtual> for how to get things going.
For QMail there's the VmailMgr which I hear is an awesome tool.

Advantages:
o you only need one computer (unless the load will be too high)
o single IP address
o single machine to protect and keep updated
Disadvantages:
o if your box goes down, all those domains go down
o if you address a domain by its IP address, then the server won't know
for which virtual domain that is and resort to the default host

If you will separate the mail and web servers then you make sure that the
MX entries and CNAME entries point to the correct IP addresses. :)
