Also, I can pretty much guarantee that your MX records aren't doing what you think they're doing. You should really get a copy of DNS and BIND, 3rd Edition and read it cover to cover. Keep your zones simple, and make sure you know what each record is doing when you add it, then test with dig to make sure that what you wanted to change actually changed.
