Everyone.net has an excellent instructional HOW-TO that tells you what you
need to do.  Have your client login to his everyone.net member site and
forward along the instructions on the needed DNS modifications (it's an
option in the member area somewhere).

Here's how it's setup for one of our clients:

webmail.domain.com.            IN      MX 0    sitemail.everyone.net.
control.webmail.domain.com.    IN      CNAME   siteurl.everyone.net.
