I don't use dnsmasq so I'm no expert in configuring it but if you're not getting the correct response then your configuration is incorrect. Take a look at the Split DNS wiki article and it should give you a good example on wht needs to be configured.

The MX should be (ie: it has to be) a FQDN.

So you have two mistakes here.
The first is you're using an IP address instead of a FQDN.
The second is you've added a dot at the end of the IP address (this is only to be used with FQDN).

It means the DNS resolver the zimbra server is using is not aware of the MX record you've set up.

You might want to check the SplitDNS wiki page.

If it is your real domain wantedstarling.com, it cannot be found.
Try using this tool to search for all your DNS settings:
