Jeff, Your zone is still a full IP - "Domain: 2.193.160.12.in-addr.arpa" and it should be - "Domain: 193.160.12.in-addr.arpa" . Just delete that domain and create it WITHOUT the last octet of the IP i.e. everything except for the "2."
I don't know if you realize it, but when you are posting the links to the mail people can click them and be in your session already authenticated.
