... Due to the limits of the available information, SSL virtual host require separate IP addresses. That can be done with Courier, too.

However, the option that I'd recommend is that you use the name of your own service in your client settings. If you're "foo.com Hosting", then have your clients all use "mail.foo.com" for their server when sending and receiving, and they won't get any errors or warnings related to SSL. There's no reason to make the setup any more complicated than that.

I have considered that last option, however, I was sorta hoping to cheat and use all of my domains, having them as seperate entities. I have some very non-technical customers that want a domain name, and they want their email to be the same; foo_@bar.com. However, I may still do that, only having ssl for one domain.

Currently in apache, we have several domains using ssl, but the cert just has a bad cn, so the user must deal with a warning from the browser. Still sounds like it is time to update some specs. Thanx for the good info, tho. :)
