URL pointing at my server", then it implies that the customer (or their
ISP or someone else) is doing DNS for the domain. So you shouldn't have
to set up DNS records locally. Whoever is doing DNS for the domain should
set up the MX record and you "get their email to them" by the same means
as any other domain - through a relaying SMTP server that will look up the
MX record at the authoritative name servers for the domain.
