Actually virtually hosted domains should not matter. The server
should ALWAYS send emails with it's own credentials no matter which
virtual domain it is sending for.
An example the server might be "exchange.domain1.com" and it might
host "domain2.com". When sending email the smtp prompt should always
return "exchange.domain1.com" even if it is sending email for
"dude@xxxxxxxxxxx". This way rDNS is always correct for the smtp
connection from that server.
