PTR record

203.0.113.25 has a reverse DNS name: mail.example-company.com. That is the name a receiving mail server sees when this address connects. Whether it stands up to the check they actually run is the next row.

Forward confirmation

mail.example-company.com was resolved forward and it points back at 203.0.113.25. That round trip is the check receiving mail servers actually perform — the forward lookup was really made here, not assumed from the PTR — and this address passes it. This is the state a sending IP wants to be in.

mail.example-company.com 203.0.113.25
