How to set up email service with Heroku custom domain?

Question

I just started out developing with Heroku, but stuck on how to have email service with the same domain that is pointing to Heroku services, e.g. mydomain.com -> Heroku apps.

I want to have email service with mydomain.com, perhaps, [email protected]. How do I do that?

I found a good blog post that shows you how to do this using Google Apps, Heroku, and the Heroku Zerigo addon. I found this pretty useful in setting this up for an app I'm working on and it works great.
