Thank you Sandy. You are great. PS. One more question on this issue. I am hosting all my domains on 1 IP address, so all of my customer domains are virtual hosts. Do you know how to use SMTP authentication in this case? When I tried it with the @domainname.com it did not work, but then when I removed it, and left only the userid, it worked right away. (I used an account from my primary domain hosted on the real IP).

Yes, create *one for every hosted domain* with the name of the domain as its username. N.B., this does mean that if a vengeful employee leaves one of your customers, they will have the credentials to send spam unless the customer asks you to change the shared password.
