Their minimum requirements are:- 

yourCustomer.tld	in   mx   0    sitemail.everyone.net.
hostName4WebMail.yourCustomer.tld   in	  cname      siteurl.everyone.net.


In my experience their method is working perfect.
They are using cname for MX records !
Probably because they are using Postfix instead of sendmail.
Does any one has experience with Postfix ?
