techamerica, Have you looked into Windows Live Custom Domains https://domains.live.com/ ? I think what you could do is:
1. Add your clients domain as Greg described. 2. Setup your clients email using Windows Live 3. Create regular google accounts (not gmail accounts) using the Windows Live email addresses e.g. [email protected] 4. Add the users as developers to the account so that you can send emails using their address. I haven't tested this, but I think it should work. It adds a few more hoops to jump through, but I guess that's the cost of free.
