(In the following, I changed the real IP address and the domain name to something fictive.)

In the meantime I did change the MX entry at my domain registrar:

Master Record (MX): mail.blah.co.nz.

I have a DNS config file /etc/bind/blah.co.nz.db (I'm sure ispCP created this) which looks like that:

Code:

$TTL 12H
$ORIGIN blah.co.nz.
@               IN              SOA             ns1.blah.co.nz. postmaster.blah.co.nz. (
; dmn [blah.co.nz] timestamp entry BEGIN.
                2009121500     ; Serial
; dmn [blah.co.nz] timestamp entry END.
                8H              ; Refresh
                30M             ; Retry
                4W              ; Expire
                3H              ; Minimum TTL
)
                IN              NS              ns1.blah.co.nz.
                IN              NS              ns2.blah.co.nz.
                IN              MX      10      mail.blah.co.nz.

I can ping blah.co.nz and get the correct IP address.

If I go to http://pingability.com and enter blah.co.nz, I get this little interesting snippet:
