How are you setting up the domains?

Are you calling domain1 the host and generic.com the domain?  If you do 
that, then the domain is generic.com, and you can only accept mail for it once.

If you leave the host blank (or call it "www") and enter the entire 
"domain1.generic.com" as the domain, then you should be able to accept mail 
for each domain.  "domain1.generic.com" is a "third-level" domain, but a 
perfectly valid one nevertheless.  But how do you tell the difference 
between a service named "domain1" at domain "generic.com" and a machine 
without a name (or with "www" as the name) at a domain called 
"domain1.generic.com"?  It all depends on where you put the "domain1" 
appelation.
