Naive users messing up using CNAMEs is really neither here nor there
because they are just as likely to mess up any other type of DNS
record. The fact that CNAME MX records has not destroyed the internet

Your dig just further proves the point. smtp.secureserver.net is listed as
the MX server for secureserver.net. Yet smtp.secureserver.net is an alias
which points to the smtp.where.secureserver.net A record which has an
address of 208.109.80.149.
