David, you did correct the aforementioned RR's in your forward and reverse zone files, right? The machine named "mail.mydomain.com" should *not* be a PTR record pointing back to "mydomain.com". Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are doing but if you are creating an alias, you should use a CNAME record. Otherwise, all of us running public dns servers will see your dns server as a "lame server", and, I for one, find it very annoying when my log files fill up with lame server notifications.
