Thanks for your prompt reply Tom,

Yeah, the A and MX records are in the the same fashion ( i just wrote one
generic example ).
Correct,.. one user is paul, and the other email user is pauls (which also
has a email alias paul).
However, with this configuration the emails of the alias paul@xxxxxxxxxxx
are recieved by paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx
I was thinking of possibly removing the first paul@xxxxxxxxxxx account, and
replacing it with paulj@xxxxxxxxxxx, and just creating two email aliases
'paul' for both domains.

Thanks again,
