I would set this up a little differently:

mysite.com.            IN    A    xxx.xxx.73.26
*hostname              IN    A    xxx.xxx.73.26
mail                        IN    A    xxx.xxx.73.27
www                      IN    CNAME    *hostname
                              IN    MX    10    mail

That should work for ya.
