Re: domain twice
You need to have a dot at the end of the fully qualified domain name. It
needs to look like this:
mysld.tld. IN MX 5 spamfilter.mysld.tld.
mysld.tld. IN MX 10 mail.mysld.tld.
notice the <.> after tld. That tells named "Stop reading here". Without the
dot, named will keep reading the file until it finds either a dot or
something else it recognizes as a terminator.
