Nothing goes in there, presumably. You only need MXes for the domain
names to be actually used as mail destinations. This zone is in the
in-addr.arpa tree. Although possible, it seems unlikely that anyone
would want a mail destination in that part of the namespace.
Add to that the fact that 192.168/16 is a *non-unique*, private address
space, so no-one outside of your organization should even been seeing
your version of it, it seems doubly unlikely that you'd want a mail
destination of @0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Although I suppose anything is
possible with an internal-only root-zone and mail setup...

I skipped over that part because I've never gotten that error on any of
my systems. I think it's just informational.
