Hmm. I'd guess "domain1.com" and "domain2.com" are really the same
name, or if not both domains are handled by the same MX host.

Whereas "domain3.com" really is a different domain handled by a
different MX host.

Neither, AFAICT from the obfuscated information you posted.

| When more than one address is included in a single delivery (for

Your example is showing a message being relayed to multiple remote
hosts. It seems likely that the *deliverys* (outgoing SMTP sessions)
were actually separate. You are perhaps confusing "single reception"
with "single delivery"?
