Something definitely is odd: $ dig +norecurs -t mx wraith.sf.ca.us @B.AUTH-NS.SONIC.NET. ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> +norecurs -t mx wraith.sf.ca.us @B.AUTH-NS.SONIC.NET. ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 42774 ;; flags: qr; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 3, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;wraith.sf.ca.us.

I have no easy explanation why it is there. You might want to ask your ISP to check if their domains table is up to date. One thing that looks odd, but is completely legal, is that you have an NS record pointing to the name of your zone. Conceivably, this might be confusing PowerDNS, as this is somewhat rare. People mostly have: wraith.sf.ca.us IN NS ns1.wraith.sf.ca.us wraith.sf.ca.us IN NS smidge.wraith.sf.ca.us Although this *should* not be the problem. Perhaps it is in your power to give your nameserver a different name.
