I take it this is a Samba AD DC, so are you using the method on the
link I posted (or something similar) ? If so, have a look in
/var/log/syslog
It sounds like you need to stop your Windows clients from trying to
update their own dns records, you can do this on each Windows client,
or by using a GPO.
PS, what email client do you use ? So I can avoid it, it is terrible :-
