this does not matter much.
The HELO string exchange.teo-en-ming.com does exist, which is good.

neither does this one.

this is the first and biggest problem, the reverse lookup points to non-existing host
name:

120.211.189.118.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 120.211.189.118.static.m1net.com.sg.
Host 120.211.189.118.static.m1net.com.sg. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

The second is that the reverse and matching forward (points back to
118.189.211.120) should not be generic.

Yes, ISP pointing the reverse to exchange.teo-en-ming.com would be best
solution.


Btw, the OP should get second nameserver in different netwotk:

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
teo-en-ming.com.        112671  IN      NS      ns1.teo-en-ming.com.
teo-en-ming.com.        112671  IN      NS      ns2.teo-en-ming.com.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns1.teo-en-ming.com.    3475    IN      A       118.189.211.120
ns2.teo-en-ming.com.    3475    IN      A       118.189.211.120
