PTR records are setup for IP addresses, not domains.

A reverse dns or PTR record lookup takes an IP address and looks up what
host name is associated with it.

64.7.207.173 reverses to www.ltcconnection.com but an A record lookup on
www.ltcconnection.com returns 64.7.202.212

64.7.202.212 reverses to mail.ltcconnection.com which does have an A
record returning 64.7.202.212

What host name do you HELO/EHLO with?
