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.
