The problem is that the zone check gave back an error to me and I don't
maintain the zone check, therefore I cannot make them register the zone
this way.

I don't know how they test, the only thing I know is that qmail is setup
to receive the mails for the domain, the test is with VRFY, and the test
gives back an error. Sendmail returned 250
<postmaster@machine's_real_name> for the query and it worked that way, so
the only thing I think to be checked is the status code.
And correct me if I am mistaken, but the only thing which should be
checked is the status code anyway.
