[Some serious line wrap damage in the sent mail. And not even done by
Outlook Express. Fixed where it was interfering with replies. I won't
mention the unmentionble HTML that came with the mail too.]

^^^^^^^^^^
You wrote this in 1997? Note that this date format will not work after

You are missing a TTL. Later versions of BIND will whine about it.

Fully qualified domain names (FQDN) need to end with a '.',
IN MX 50 fasteners.idealfasteners.com.
IN MX 75 ideal.idealfasteners.com.

Again with TTL and again with ending FQDN with '.'.
