As far as the DNS is concerned, it's all handled by the above wildcards. I can't really help you with mail server setup, since it's been a couple of years since I've configured a mail server.
You may have to configure each subdomain manually with the mail server, or maybe the frontier docs that started this whole thread have some clues. Or maybe you can work some magic with the routing table in SIMS or Communigate.
