84600 ; refresh
3600 ; retry
604800 ; expire
84600 ; minimum
)

]

@ IN MX my.mailserver.it.

Post the whole SOA RR.

There is *no* priority in the above RR:

@ IN MX 10 my.mailserver.it.

This one is pretty easy, you are missing the precedence for your mail
exchanger:

@ MX 10 my.mailserver.it
^^
Should put a precedence for Mail Exchangers even if
you have only one Mail Exchanger!

Please upgrade asap. That version has numerous nasty security holes. The
freebsd port of bind 8 allows you to overwrite the system version if you
choose, but you'd be better off upgrading to the latest 4.7-Stable which
has the updated bind as part of the base.

This message doesn't mean that there is something wrong with the serial.
It's telling you what version of the zone file it's complaining about.

As others have said, you need a preference value, like:

@ IN MX 10 my.mailserver.it.

Good luck,

Doug
