OK.

OK

Not OK, the hostnames on these MX records are not defined in your
zone.

>www.mydomain.com.          IN     CNAME          mydomain.com.
>mail.mydomain.com.     IN     CNAME          mydomain.com.

Not OK, "www.mydomain.com" and "mail.mydomain.com" have A records, so
they can't also have CNAME records.  Also, you have no A records for
"mydomain.com", so it's not clear what you were intending these
CNAMEs to accomplish.

None of these names is defined in your sample zone.

whatever.
