It's not good practice to have your MX entry pointing to a CNAME record and not an A record. While not illegal, doing so enables the real problem which is that using the above method, your MX record does not have a valid PTR record so lots of correctly setup mail servers will probably reject your mail. Other than that, nice article.

At least accoring to the DNS Howto, and my reverse zone started to work after I removed "IN" and restarted named.
