why should mail be delivered to oth boxes?
Two MX Records do not mean that mail ist delivered to both targets.
Its just a redundancy thing.
If the MX with the lowest priority is unreachable, the second it tried.



you could check the imap aggregator.
but this thing sounds beeing a little overkill for you.


you might try to rewrite
boxa at test.org to boxa at boxa.test.org
and
boxb at test.org to boxa at boxb.test.org
and route the mail based on the subdomain.
