#* <code> 158.25.34.124 </code> is the static IP address assigned by your ISP. You'll need to set-up a NAT on your router (often oddly called a virtual server in domestic routers) to map incoming mail on TCP 25 to your email server's actual address (EG <code> 158.25.34.124:25 -> 192.168.1.150:25 </code>). | #* <code> 158.25.34.124 </code> is the static IP address assigned by your ISP.

Note, instead of an A record, some people will use a CNAME record instead (though obviously the CNAME record will still need to point to a valid A record.) Using a CNAME might be preferable, if for example you've multiple services running from a single public IP, that you might want to split out in the future to run on separate IP's, at which point you can replace the CNAME records with A records.
