Dear Jayson,

Did you add an extra MX-record for each domain? For example :

For "company1.org" :
MX PRI 10  mail.company1.org  --> Should be already there...
MX PRI 50  mail.company2.org  --> To be added (backup-mx).

For "company2.org" :
MX PRI 10  mail.company2.org  --> Should be already there...
MX PRI 50  mail.company1.org  --> To be added (backup-mx).

Yours,

Tjeerd
