Initially, it is.  But after that you'll usually only need a tweak every few 
months.

The good news is that if you use Google for mail, it's easy.  The bad news is 
that if you use Google for mail, you have little to no control.  And if you 
want to ask questions or want to get logs to know whether an email got through 
or not, good luck with that.

So it depends on what your client wants.  Try to come up with a price for 
setting up their server for receiving email (as best you can given the 
information you have), and then tell them what you think you know, the price 
for doing the work, and give them the choice.  [Or at least that's what I'd do 
in this situation.]
