Question : Exchange 2010 - Multiple Email Address Policies

Maybe I'm just blurry eyed from reading articles about this all day. I need help understanding something. I have three (3) email address policies in Exchange 2010.

POLICY NAME              (PRIORITY)
-------------------------------------------
mycompany.com  (1)
myparentcompany.org  (2)
Default Policy  (lowest)

The 'default' policy is set to 'lowest' priority, and includes 'all recipients' with no filtering. The 'myparentcompany.org' policy has the second highest priority, and has a very specific filter (results in only three recipients). The 'mycompany.com' policy has the highest priority and uses no filtering at all - includes all recipients.

Only the 'mycompany.com' policy gets applied (ever) to any recipients. The other two policies NEVER get applied. I don't get any errors even with high debugging. I am reading some very brief phrasing that "only one policy gets applied to a recipient at a time". But I'm really not sure exactly what that means - "at a time". Does this mean once a recipient is identified within a policy's scope - no other policies will be applied to that recipient?

Basically, I have three recipients in particular that need some custom policies applied to them. They need to receive mail to @mycompany.com <AND> @myparentcompany.org. All the other recipients should not have addresses ending in @myparentcompany.org.

Can someone help me sort this out?

Answer : Exchange 2010 - Multiple Email Address Policies

one a policy is applied to a object it stops processing for that object, therefore since the first policy applies to all recipients it will never go to the second
you need to update the filter such that it excludes the three users
