Mark and Neil are right.

1 IP = 1 PTR record only.

from what I know, PTR is really usefull for reputation of the sending email
server (outbound).
So PTR should not be needed for autodiscover for exemple because
autodiscover is only used by the clients (mobile or email software) to
configure itself for emails.

I'd advise to only setup PTR for mail.imcu.com, since it's also your (only
;-)) mx server
