Is 192.168.1.2 a typo?

If not it should be 192.168.1.20 according to the zone data below.

As for the mail, it looks you have your MX record pointing to an alias, a
lot of mail servers will neither send mail to or accept mail from a SMTP
server using an alias.

DNS has a Forward Lookup Zone: abc.com (with reverse lookup zones
enabled)

Most routers map individual ports ports to certain IPs. Some routers can map
the entire IP to another IP aka DMZ. How is this mapped?
Because other than what I've noted above I see no problems, provided the IP
is a typo.
