The forward lookup for dnsbed.com returns:;
173.245.61.41
173.245.61.115

The reverse entries for your nameserver don't have to match your
mailserver name but they must be consistent, i.e. the reverse must
resolve forward to the IP address.

mail.dnsbed.com -> 74.117.233.4 -> dnsbed.com -> 74.117.233.4 would be a
consistent reverse/forward loop.

mail.dnsbed.com -> 74.117.233.4 -> dnsbed.com -> 173.245.61.41 is not

Maybe the easiest way would be to change the PTRs of
4.233.117.74.in-addr.arpa. and 204.232.117.74.in-addr.arpa to
"mail.dnsbed.com", so you don't have to move the A records of dnsbed.com
