Reverse DNS (PTR) issue
Hello,
I configured the Reverse DNS properly, but the WHM still gives an error!
Kindly check this screenshot: https://ibb.co/42dkC4z
Check the PTR: https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=ptr%3A142.171.234.170&run=networktools

I do not see that there is any reverse DNS configured for the hostname at this time. Did you have your hosting provider add those records?

Yes, the Reverse DNS is added properly as you can see here: https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=ptr%3a142.171.234.170&run=toolpage

rDNS is added and functioning. Just relax and check the cPanel interface for that domain tomorrow. It is very likely that the resolvers you have listed in /etc/resolv.conf simply have cached your previous lookups and you have to wait til the DNS cache expires before the server will show that rDNS is in place.

I also see it working on my end now, so I would agree with mtindor

Thanks mtindor and cPRex for your lookup.
But please note that my server is not new to wait 1 more day, I established it 1 month ago

Is WHM still giving you an error about that reverse DNS configuration?

cPRex Yes, this error exists since I created the server 1 month ago till now.

I'm wondering if this an issue with the local resolvers on the server. Just as a test, you could run this command from the server itself to see if that returns the correct value:
dig -x 1.2.3.4
where "1.2.3.4" is the IP address of your server.
If that works well, you may want to try adjusting the resolvers on your server to use the Google public resolver as a test to see if that improves the information in WHM >> Email Deliverability. You can do this by editing /etc/resolv.conf on the server and add the following line:
nameserver 8.8.8.8
If that does get things working, you'll want to contact your host to let them know there is an issue with the resolvers.

I'm already using Google DNS (8.8.8.8) and (8.8.4.4). Check this screenshot: https://ibb.co/4FTJLK7
I used this command
dig -x 142.171.234.170
and this is the output: https://ibb.co/D7kh6x7
I already contacted my server provider, and they confirmed that PTR is resolving properly and regarding the error in WHM, I need to contact cPanel support.
