The syntax is:

samba-tool dns add <server> <zone> <name> 
<A|AAAA|PTR|CNAME|NS|MX|SRV|TXT> <data>

Your command is:

samba-tool dns add athena.edm-inc.com smtp2.edm-inc.com smtp2 A 
134.209.164.116

Which means you are using the followinf info:

<server> athena.edm-inc.com
<zone> smtp2.edm-inc.com
<name> smtp2
<data> 134.209.164.116

Have you created a zone called 'smtp2.edm-inc.com' ?
