That's really beyond the scope of this list and I'm not really sure what
kind of voodoo Go Daddy is doing for their 'domain forwarding/parking'
service. Which is a pass-the-buck way of saying, 'I dunno...' ;-)

Ultimately, you want whatever name servers are serving your domain to have,
at minimum:
tonedeaf.com. A [your web server's IP address]
www.tonedeaf.com. A [your web server's IP address]
mailserver.tonedeaf.com. A [your mail server's IP address]
tonedeaf.com. MX 10 mailserver.tonedeaf.com.
The first three records point the host names on the left to the appropriate
IP addresses. The last record tells other mail servers to talk to your mail
server about delivering mail to tonedeaf.com addresses.
