Your AD Forward Lookup zone should be a Primary writable zone with dynamic
updates allowed, read only zones are secondary copies and cannot allow
dynamic updates.

Do not use a PTR record, you need a host record named "mail" with the IP of
the mail server.

But that's not a show stopper. What

What address are your clients using for DNS? They must also use the DC only
for DNS.

Please post the following:
ipconfig /all from your DC
AD domain name from AD Users & Computers
List of forward lookup zones in DNS (zones not records)

If you are uncomfortable posting that info in the public forum send it using
direct email using the instructions in my signature line.
