Cpanel must add domain for email?

New with using Cpanel. Decided to use a provider for outsourced email.
Roadblock/problem for me is that Cpanel seems to and confirmed with the hosting company, that I must add each domain I want email for and let their server takeover the DNS. Meaning I need to change the DNS server info to them in order to be able to setup email for that domain.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this otherwise (minus needing to change DNS provider to them)? Have existing outsourced DNS provider(s) that I am happy with and hate touching and changing DNS like this just to work around a deficiency in Cpanel.

Mot true at all, just point the records like you wish as normal. It is smart to let cPanel take over as providers need to change servers around sometime and if you fail to change the DNS, well you break your own stuff, so not their fault of you missing a notice. Now to add additional domains that are not the providers nameservers, the provider only needs to add the IP's of your current nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns
Example
can't you just point the MX records to your email provider using your existing DNS providers?
