You shouldn't use an alias (mail.domainB.com cname >mail.domainA.com) in an MX record.
Or you can have a second A record, pointing mail.domainB.com to the same IP as mail.domainA.com. It is absolutely valid to have multiple A records pointing totally different names at the same address, and/or PTR records pointing reverse DNS for one IP address to multiple names. Some programs claiming to be DNS servers might not support such things.
