no, don't worry about that. Only one PTR record per ip is
effective. For the ip of your Imail machine with many mail hosts, I
suggest the default/official mail host at the data field for PTR record.

no.
A) have the reverse authority for your ip block
B) on PTR record per ip
C) use the default/official mailhost for the PTR data field
is the best you can do for ip with many virtual mail servers.
