If you're asking what I think you're asking, you just have to tell the
RaQ to relay email for the domain (domain.com).

Nope, that's not what I'm asking.  On the virtual sites Site Settings page is a field 'Email Server Aliases'.  Normally, for sites that have their mail handled externally (i.e. by an Exchange server) this field is left blank.

If I have 2 MX records, one HIGH and external, one LOW and internal (using the Raq4 for mail if the first mail server doesn't respond) do I make an entry of any kind in the aforementioned 'Email Server Aliases' field, or do I leave it blank?

Sorry for any confusion, and thanks.
