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. 

Just checking in...
