Reverse dns record in my dns configuration

I need to add a reverse dns record in my dns configuration.

I am getting this error  74.86.153.160 is the ip of the mail server

Remote host said: 451 4.1.8 Possibly forged hostname for 74.86.153.160

I have access to the dns zone  of the domain

Any ideas

Thx for the insight all is working ok now
PTR record cannot be created by your domain dns panel
it has to created by ISP who owns the public ip address used by you to send emails out

This is stil no reverse lookup...  for that you need a PTR record.

What tool can I use to check this issue?
dig    -x 74.86.153.160

(dig is a DNS query tool)

https://mxtoolbox.com/
has various checks...,  look for a  & ptr.  like in:
https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=ptr:74.86.153.160

(which tells biomedical-service.com  which means you mail server needs to present that name as HELO (EHLO) announcement.

How can I check if my mail server presents biomedical-service.com as HELO (EHLO) announcement?

Or is the mxtoolbox returning that ptr means it is ok?
No MXtoolbox only checks DNS entries. That should be in the configuration...
