email server - Reverse DNS is not a valid Hostname error from MXToolBox

I can't send email messages from my server. However, I can receive email messages. I set up my server the exact same way I did many times which I've proven it works and it's pretty straightforward and consist of: Create a DigitalOcean Droplet (Debian 7.0) + Set PTR record through renaming Droplet to a FQDN + Create Private NameServers in my Domain Registrar and point my domain(s) to my NameServers + Installing VestaCP (child-ns). From here, I simply add a web through VestaCP and the DNS records are added automatically.



I am not sure where I have gone wrong in my configuration but I am getting the error "Reverse DNS is not a valid Hostname" for my domain izanami.co. I set my DigitalOcean Droplet PTR record to izanami.co and all of the tests I have conducted using dig and host seem to return the correct information.



dig -x 188.166.32.113

I tried to send an email message and this is the log output in /var/log/exim4/mainlog

Update:



A few more lines from my /var/log/exim4/mainlog. As you can see, an email message which is supposed to be (auto)forwarded to my Gmail account doesn't succeed.
