Is the A records above correct? ie: is the DNS/mail server actually
192.168.0.7, or something else?

If they are different than 0.7, change them accordingly, change the
;serial number above to 2003120801 and reload the name server:

# ndc restart && tail -10 /var/log/messages | grep named

and make sure the name server is 'ready to answer queries'.

If that fails, check to see if /etc/resolv.conf has it's primary
nameserver statement like this:

nameserver 127.0.0.1

and make sure your client computer is looking to your DNS servers IP for
DNS.

If all fails, next send the named.conf file.
