Looks like it wasn't user error. I went to register another domain today, and this time started clean with zoneedit.
Here's the error they give me: You may not assign a Mail Server to a domain name that was defined using a CNAME. This MX record would never be used by e-mail clients. A proper e-mail client will look for an MX record for 'heroku.com' and use that. WARNING: Not all email clients understand how to do even this correctly. Therefore, you may receive only limited support if you choose to define 'DOMAIN' using a CNAME, and then try to send email to 'usern...@domain' The changes have not been saved changing the cname to proxy had no impact - just replace heroku.com with proxy.heroku.com in the error above. Feels like being stuck between a rock and a hard place! I understand where you guys are coming from, and not coming up with anything brilliant myself.
