Hi, I have an additional point... (maybe not helping the origin questioner, but others)
Sharing one IP (and maybe on mail system) is good for clients with many users. It allows you to have special configurations and e.g. easy ip based traffic accounting. When you merge all your clients into one system (this makes sense if you have many clients with only a few user each and paying less etc.) they share all configs and accounting is difficult. So using different installations (e.g. virtual servers with postfix, dbmail etc.) per customer is a solution in some environments. bye, Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: Blake Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 4:28 PM > To: DBMail mailinglist > Subject: Re: [Dbmail] Question about Virtual Domains > > > It's a simple matter of having enough information to figure out who a > person is.
