well, after some unsatisfactory results from publishing such a list in the
past, i'm disinclined to send my full private list to the whole forum.  but
here's a snippet:

$ORIGIN reject-mail.vix.com.
$TTL 3600
@       IN      SOA     ns.lh.vix.com. hostmaster.vix.com. (
                                        2002122800      ; serial
                                        3600            ; refresh
                                        1800            ; retry
                                        604800          ; expiry
                                        3600 )          ; minimum
