I assume you have read the readme1st.txt the comes with the installation
kit? Apart from requiring a directory directive to tell BIND where to find the
files that it needs to use it's identical to BIND on Unix and you should read
the DNS and BIND book or anything else you may find on configuring BIND.

Don't include attachments. The list server will strip them. There is, in
any case, no need to send images, just send the error message itself.
At a guess you didn't set the permissions on the directory that the files
reside so that it is able to read the files or you don't have a named.conf
file.

This is nonsense. You are sending to a public mailing list. Noone has any
obligation to keep secret anything you have sent. It has already been
indexed by Google.

Don't bother. attachments are not allowed. Just send the text of the message.
