*	point the mx record to realhost
*	put a cname for mailhost pointing to realhost
*	clients setup their mailer prog to point to mailhost (the CNAME in case
you change realhost - its easier to change your named than a couple of
dozen customers on that domain name)
*	put an entry in the reverse mapping (the in-addr.arpa) file for realhost
and its IP

happy happy
