Not true, Joel.

They can get their mail from your server by setting up a "pop" account
for receiving email in their email program.  It should point to your
machine, their domain name.

We set up in DNS for our clients an A record for pop.theirdomain.com and
tell them to set up their email client to GET mail as "username" from
"pop.theirdomain.com".

And we tell them to send mail by setting up their email client to
whatever earthlink uses for outgoing email (if I remember correctly it's
smtp.earthlink.net).

They can then use theirname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as their return address. 
Works for me.
