Kenny,
You say:

This is NOT good! There should be only 1 domain (ip) that has the Aliases.
It is OK to have 2 IP with the same OHN (Official Host Name), IMail will use
the Primary IPs name as the OHN for any unused IPs.
If you have some users on one of the IPs and a different set on the other,
then whichever one 'gets' the email, it may or may not find the user and
accept or reject based on the users it finds for that IP. If the other IP
gets the message, it might accept the same message because it finds the user
in that domain! Basically, you need to use just one of the IPs for ALL the
users in that domain and only that IP will have the Aliases.
Now to pick the right IP, you should find the Primary one. That is the one
that is assigned in the Control Panel, Network, Protocols, TCPIP on the IP
tab. Make that one (ONLY) have the Aliases and all the user. Remove the
users and the Aliases form the other IP.
