The formatting looks a little messed up. Probably gmail did
something "intelligently". For the DNS entries, this is how it should
be in bind
mydomain.com IN A ip.addr.ess
IN MX 10 mx.mydomain.com
mx.mydomain.com IN A ip.address.of.mx
Normally, lists will be on the same box as the mx. So, you need to add
lists.mydomain.com IN CNAME mx.mydomain.com
Having these should work ok for Bind. What DNS server are you running
? Based on that, the syntax would vary. But conceptually, this is how
the entries should be. Thanks
PS: If it is just mailing lists, and you are not very specific about
the domain, you can use freelists - www.freelists.org
