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.
