Domain-based routes

Delivery routes based on domain groups are examined after defined user

directory-based routes for a match with an email message recipient. If a match is made with a user directory-based route, domain-based routes are not examined for matches.

Important: The Protected Domain group defined on the page Settings > Users > Domain Groups should not be used to configure delivery routes if you need to define domain-based delivery routes via multiple SMTP servers. Create domain groups that contain subsets of the Protected Domain group for mail routing purposes.
