I assume you are using keys and have all of that configured correctly. If
so, then this should work. Do you see any error messages in messages when
you restart named?

The next thing I would do just for clarity's sake is to rename the FDQN
the mailserver responds to to mail.cbits.ca and add mail.cbits.ca to your
zone file. Add an A record for mail.cbits.ca. I think that should be it.
