This appears to be a case of no whitespace before -o.
If there is a non-whitespace character first on the line, then Postfix
will treat it as a new entry.
customer1 unix - - n - - smtp
-o smtp_bind_address=174.121.222.21
-o smtp_helo_name=domain1.com <http://domain1.com>
-o syslog_name=postfix-domain1.com <http://postfix-domain1.com>
