the problem is that you can't control what the client expects
there are a lot of clients, recent and outdated

rule of thumbs:
avoid all that domain-specific crap in caes of mail and just
use and communicate "mail.yourdomain.tld" indepdendent what
domains you are hosting - that scales and works in any case

we are hosting some hundret mail-domains and have *one* servername
