Your A record does not match that IPv4 addr:

(mdh@kirin) [~/]# host 23.227.197.10
10.197.227.23.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer horsezipsworld.com.
(mdh@kirin) [~/]# host horsezipsworld.com
horsezipsworld.com has address 23.227.197.11

You may want to set something up like mail.<domain> which points to
23.227.197.10
and then set the PTR for  23.227.197.10 to mail.<domain> so that you have a
matching set.  PTR's that don't match are unreliable - I can set a PTR for
my IP addresses to matt.google.com, but that doesn't mean I have any
authority regarding google.com.

Take care,
Matt
