Post Error during resolving the mx record for hostname and domain name

Please help me out....I m trying to install ZCS on Fedora 11
Before installation I configured named.conf as follows
// Default named.conf generated by install of bind-9.2.4-2
options {
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
forwarders { 192.168.0.110 ; };
};
include "/etc/rndc.key";
// We are the master server for server.example.com
zone "mail.example.com" {
type master;
file "db.mail.example.com";
};

and then created db.mail.example.com in var/named/ as follows

;
; Addresses and other host information.
;
@ IN SOA mail.example.com. root.mail.example.com. (
10118 ; Serial
43200 ; Refresh
3600 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
2592000 ) ; Minimum
; Define the nameservers and the mail servers
IN NS mail.example.com
IN A 192.168.0.20
IN MX 10 mail.example.com.

and then started named.conf successfully........

i got DNS error during installation saying that NO mx Records for locahost

You need to have a valid hosts file, resolv.conf file and DNS A & MX records that point to your server. I'd suggest you read the Quick Start Installation Guide for the format of the hosts file. There are many posts (by me) in the forums that describe what you need to do and what information you need to post, please search for them.
