I always use DNSStuff to check and verify PTR records. But DNSStuff is not a free service. Do you think you need DNSStuff when you have Powershell? This is a basic script for it. Just enter your domain name. It finds MX records then verifys PTR records. It’s simple and fast.

I used 4.2.2.1 for open dns server. You need to set ExecutionPolicy as Unrestricted to execute this script.
