Eventually you'll find that "cheating" will limit your choice of clients, as it ruins interoperability. Don't try to be clever when you don't have to. Good admins are lazy. :)

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.

I'm not sure what you mean by the last sentence, but your clients can all have domains. Their email address can use their domain. It's only the settings in their own email client for the send/receive servers that needs to stick to the one domain in order to have proper SSL security. No one that they communicate with will ever see that, so each of your customers gets their vanity domain, along with good security with only that one compromise that they'll forget the next day anyhow.

Probably true, Gordon. I had just been charging full speed in one direction, one thtis apparently impossible. I am now rethinking/replanning everything. My partner is working on moving us to another provider, so we will be able to get several ip's. Should solve all sorts of problems. When is the US ever gonna move to IPv6? (...muttering about stupid IPv4 address limitations...:)

Thanx again for the help, Gordon.
