options { pid-file "/var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid"; directory "{BINDDIR}"; auth-nxdomain no; /* * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source * directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged * port by default. */ // query-source address * port 53; }; // // a caching only nameserver config // zone "." { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "named.local"; }; zone "{ZONE}.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "pri.{ZONE}.in-addr.arpa"; }; zone "{DOMAIN}" { type master; file "pri.{DOMAIN}"; }; zone "{DOMAIN}" { type slave; file "sec.{DOMAIN}"; masters { {MASTERS}; }; }; //// MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ////

That's because the mailserver and probably spamassassin use DNS for various checks. It will go away when you fixed your DNS.
Is the output you posted for /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/named.conf.master really like that? No new lines?

[brainz]

Im sorry but yes there are no new lines

[martinfst]

It should look like:

options {
        pid-file "/var/run/bind/run/named.pid";
        directory "{BINDDIR}";
        auth-nxdomain no;
        /*
         * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
         * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
         * directive below.  Previous versions of BIND always asked
         * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
         * port by default.
         */
        // query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "db.root";
//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "db.root";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "db.local";
};

<!-- BEGIN DYNAMIC BLOCK: named_reverse -->
zone "{ZONE}.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "pri.{ZONE}.in-addr.arpa";
};
<!-- END DYNAMIC BLOCK: named_reverse -->

<!-- BEGIN DYNAMIC BLOCK: named -->
zone "{DOMAIN}" {
        type master;
};
<!-- END DYNAMIC BLOCK: named -->

<!-- BEGIN DYNAMIC BLOCK: named_slave -->
zone "{DOMAIN}" {
        type slave;
        file "sec.{DOMAIN}";
        masters { {MASTERS}; };
};
<!-- END DYNAMIC BLOCK: named_slave -->

Including the newlines. This is a copy of my master file, which I think I have not modified. But please double check. After replacement, update a DNS entry in the panel and check you have new files in /etc/bind (or /var/lib/named/etc/bind, which is symlinked)

[brainz]

Im sorry,

But i think the faile is the same here is mine is a readable format...

options {
        pid-file "/var/named/chroot/var/run/named/named.pid";
        directory "{BINDDIR}";
        auth-nxdomain no;
        /*
         * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
         * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
         * directive below.  Previous versions of BIND always asked
         * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
         * port by default.
         */
        // query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "named.local";
};

<!-- BEGIN DYNAMIC BLOCK: named_reverse -->
zone "{ZONE}.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "pri.{ZONE}.in-addr.arpa";
};
<!-- END DYNAMIC BLOCK: named_reverse -->

<!-- BEGIN DYNAMIC BLOCK: named -->
zone "{DOMAIN}" {
        type master;
        file "pri.{DOMAIN}";
};
<!-- END DYNAMIC BLOCK: named -->

<!-- BEGIN DYNAMIC BLOCK: named_slave -->
zone "{DOMAIN}" {
        type slave;
        file "sec.{DOMAIN}";
        masters { {MASTERS}; };
};
<!-- END DYNAMIC BLOCK: named_slave -->
