If a customer is paying you for virtual domain service then you'll: a) probably have a much more substantial relationship with the customer than you would with an ordinary dial-up user, and thus much stronger contractual arrangements to ensure they abide by your AUP; and b) be telling those special customers to use a special outgoing mail relay that properly masquerades as the virtual host, i.e. not your generic outgoing mail relay used by your average ordinary dial-up users. -- Greg A.
