My guess is you didn't put the MX records in the right place. I suspect
your file was something like:

@ IN SOA ...
IN NS ns1.whatever.com.
IN NS ns2.whatever.com.

host1 IN A 1.2.3.4
host2 IN A 1.2.3.5

and then you added the following line at the end:

IN MX 10 mailer.whatever.com.

This ends up being an MX record for host2, not for your domain.
