The only other thing I would add to this that has not already been stated is
that if your client is hosting mail or web services off-site, you'll need to
make sure that you get authorization from the off-site provider as well.
There are a number of hosting providers and ISP's that will only allow testing
with their consent, and only then if the server is dedicated to the one
client and not shared with any others.
Don't just assume that if your principle client gives you permission to test
that you have carte blanche to test anything that that has their name on it.
