I posted a response to you on the WebHostingTalk forum. Here's what I said:

Hi again,  :)

Simply put, you won't add the MX record on your RaQ as that is definitely
part of the DNS service.

If you want to hand mail service for a particular domain,

www.customerdomain.com

and you've used the registrar's DNS to point www.customerdomain.com to your
IP, then do the following:

On your RaQ, under 'site settings' for the customer's site, in the mail
server field, put:

www.customerdomain.com, customerdomain.com

and then in the registrar's DNS control panel, for an MX record, put:

customerdomain.com

with a distance (priority) of 0 (zero).

Your RaQ should then handle mail service for customerdomain.com

Hope this helps,

Brandon

(By the way, which registrar do you use?)
