Did you set up A and mx records for both domains and are they different or
did you do a typo and forget the 1 or 2 or something.
Also, one user is Paul, the other is pails. Then under the email user pails,
you created a Paul as an alias? It should work with no problem as long as
you have 2 completely different domain names set up. We have over 100
webmasters as aliases with no problems, not to mention the other similar
aliases we have. But the mix records have to be correct in the dns.
