Mail backup advice needed

Hi - I cannot find the answer to this question anywhere, so thought I 
would ask here as I am sure some of you may have encountered this 
question also...  I am running a personal James email server and I have 
figured out how to configure it to handle users at a virtual domain that 
I am hosting for a couple of friends of mine. That part is working fine. 
For my main mail server I am using a mail backup service provided by 
dnsmadeeasy.com and that too is working fine. My question is, for 
virtual hosts/users (which resolve to the same IP address as my own 
domain name does) do I also need to provide them with a separate mail 
backup service, based on their domain names, or do all the emails sent 
to virtual hosts/domains get backed up also, via my backup service for 
my primary mail domain? I could ask dnsmadeeasy but I wanted an 
independent answer as they have a financial interest in selling services...

Hopefully my question makes sense, I don't fully understand this part of 
DNS and how mail resolution actually works.

    Thanks in advance,  Marc...
