Don't you want to be mapping y.x.w.in-addr.arpa. ??  (if the IP of
mail.mydomain.com is w.x.y.z)

What does your zone look like in named.conf?  It should probably look
something like this (I think)...

zone "y.x.w.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "pri/y.x.w.in-addr.arpa.db";
};

What do you think?  Wasn't someone going to do a talk on DNS and BIND
soon anyway?
