[ale] Anyone have experience hosting email for multiple domains?

[Jim Kinney]

webmin and virtualmin are your friends. Yes, they are a gooeyfied
system. But they work together excellently to make all the gazillion
config file tweaks to make multiple domains works (web, email, dns,
etc). Just make sure you have the httpd-suexec package loaded. That
way the users will be the process owners in their domain hosting. That
will stop cross-domain security issue within the same system.
