DNS MX record problem
 
I have problem setting my DNS mx record. Below is my zone file

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA abc.com. root.abc.com. (
42 ; serial (d. adams)
3H ; refresh
15M ; retry
1W ; expiry
1D ) ; minimum

IN NS mail1.abc.com.
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
mail1 IN A 10.1.1.9
mail2 IN A 10.1.1.10
IN MX 10 mail1.abc.com.
www IN CNAME mail1.abc.com.
ftp IN CNAME mail2.abc.com.


This is the result of dig
[root@mail1 named]# dig @localhost -t mx abc.com

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1 <<>> @localhost -t mx abc.com
; (1 server found)
;; global options: printcmd

put this right above the line IN NS mail1...
Code:

$ORIGIN abc.com.

Owner of a RR
 
If you leave out owner of a RR it's inherited from previous RR. Owner of your MX is mail2. Correct this like abc.com. MX 10 mail1
or move the MX just below the NS.
