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).
