Yes there will be some growing pains. But when you setup those 3 domains,
you also had MX records set up, pointing to a mail server with a static
IP, right? You just need an SPF on those domains pointing back to your
mail server. If that's an inconvenience, sorry. That 60% of all email is
garbage, spam and virii is also a slight inconvenience for mail admins.
Setting up new domains, you'll get MX and SPF by default. But
retrofitting the millions of domains already out there with SPF will be
quite a task for DNS admins...
