Hi Jay, You don't need to have your mail server hosted with Heroku to do this. In fact, we don't even offer mail server hosting, and have no plans to do so for a variety of reasons mostly related to managing and protecting against spam.
When you tie a custom domain name to your Heroku app, all you're doing is creating a CNAME record that'll point a subdomain (like www) to your app. Your mail server will be hosted somewhere else as indicated by the MX records for your domain. There's a variety of options you could choose here, but the free edition of Google Apps mail hosting, might be a good place to start: http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/admins/editions.html. This would also allow you to use the GMail STMP service - a popular choice with many Heroku users. Hope this helps, /Morten P.S. I have a Yahoo mail account, and I noticed you can now configure any number of mail addresses that can send mail through Yahoo using your main account credentials for SMTP authentication. They sure hid thos options well, but http://us.f811.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Options and clicking "Mail Addresses" gets me there.
