I missed some of this thread but I wanted to point out that
IMail from Ipswitch does both types of Multi-Domain.

Both the new 4.0 and the previous 3.04 release have this.

In addition the license is for unlimited users and domains
out of the box. ($495.00)

The newest version is loaded with additional features
i.e. Anti-Spamming, List Server etc..

The 3.04 version has an e-mail to fax and pager option also.
4.0 has this option forthcoming also.
