Hi Rick !

I would suggest a little different approach to the mail server which works just fine on our RaQ and 
gives the customer an extra nice feeling ;-)

Just add their own mail server like: mail.customerdomain.tld

Then you had 3 entries to make:
customerdomain.tld
www.customerdomain.tld
mail.customerdomain.tld

and the mail should be pointed to the high priority mail server at mail.customerdomain.tld

This way every customer has his 'own' mail server (POP only) which might make them happy, and it will 
make you happy, since it works ;-)

Good luck
Thomas
