There you are. That last line is messing you up.
Guessing what you might want to do:
;in zone file for churchofreality.com
@ IN MX 10 mail.ctyme.com.
mail IN CNAME mail.ctyme.com.
mailman IN CNAME mailman.ctyme.com.
mailman.mailman IN CNAME mailman.ctyme.com.
ssh IN A 65.49.42.101
IN MX 10 blackhole.ctyme.com.
ftp IN A 65.49.42.101
IN MX 10 blackhole.ctyme.com.
www IN A 65.49.42.100
IN MX 10 mail.ctyme.com.
* IN MX 10 blackhole.ctyme.com.
None of mail mailman mailman.mailman or blackhole should be CNAMES in
the ctyme.com zone file.
Mail to churchofreality.com or mail.churchofreality.com deliver at
mail.ctyme.com, but mail.churchofreality.com inherits address and mxes
(and spf and ...) from mail.ctyme.com whereas churchofreality.com only
receives this mx. Mail servers may rewrite mail.churchofreality.com
into mail.ctyme.com as "more canonical."
Mail to ssh or ftp would try to deliver to 65.49.42.101, and www to
.100 unless you assign them MX'es. The wildcard won't apply.
