Answering questions with questions to begin with:

1)  You know that the domain's time-to-expire is 24 hours?
    If you made a change today it may not have propogated yet

2)  My DNS kungfu isn't 100% either but I'd usually put a
    priority of 0 (not 5) on my first-choice MX record

Incidentally, it's not just Yahoo - I'm getting MX resolving
to thor.jeffhowden.com as a CNAME as well (tried from 2
locations).
