We have 2 clients using MS Exchange. I didn't do anything special on my end.
Just have them load their accounts in via the GUI. Then they will need to
point their server towards yours via normal methods, they will then need to
program their end. I could be wrong on this but I didn't do anything special
or extra. We do experience a few problems at times:

Their server will do a continuous loop back and check mail on an account for
hours, we had to have them reboot their machine.

If they have MS Proxy running also, it will need to be forced to see your MX
server, we have had problems with them seeing our box after a DNS change, it
is very flaky in this area.

Lot's of virus alerts! :))
