Hosting provider has machine1.hostingdomain.com machine2.hostingdomain.com and machine3.hostingdomain.com. One of their customers customerdomain.com comes on board with DNS changes and adds their mailboxes. Their employees don’t want to see Hostingdomain as their server name.
In an age where MS and Google are in the mopping-up phase of the extermination of smaller email outsourcers, this seems like something customers don't really value all that much, but maybe that's just trauma speaking...
Moreover, the customer needs more space and you move that customer from machine1 to machine2. You now need to update all clients. Instead the client uses mail.customerdomain.com and you can move them around independent of the server setup without impacting clients.
That's a much more compelling case. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Currently Seeking Steady Work: https://linkedin.com/in/billcole
