You are missing the responsible person's e-mail address, which is
supposed to follow the master name server's name, @ rewritten as '.'.

One real, working example from one of my zone files:

@               300     SOA     varg.mcpoolen.se. hostmaster.mcpoolen.se. (
                                        2002040800              ; Serial
                                        86400                   ; Refresh (24 hours)
                                        1800                    ; Retry (30 minutes)
                                        2592000                 ; Expire (30 days)
                                        1800 )                  ; Negative TTL (30 minutes)

``And indeed people sometimes speak of man's "bestial" cruelty, but
this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
(Ivan Karamazov, in Dostoyevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov')
