single domain
I think I know what is meant, but the whole German sentence is constructed inefficiently and is confusing. I would translate the whole sentence like this: "If multiple mail servers can be allocated to a single domain, the priority determines which server will be tried first."

The way I understand it is that "mehrere" refers to the mail servers, but the issue concerns only one domain.

Note from asker:
| Yes, I think you're right. I also instinctively assumed that "mehrere" refers to the mail servers, although it could also refer to the domains. Thanks! |

under the same domain
The sentence is a bit confusing. I would rephrase it like this:
By defining the priority, you/one can determine the priority/likelihood/probability of a mailserver being chosen, in case several ones are available under the same domain.

At a quick glance, this involves configuring the MX parameters of a domain name server, and the following sites may prove useful:

My personal inclination would be 'if more than one mail server is available for a given domain'.

Note from asker:
| Thank you! |
| Given that, is a simle "for" sufficient: Here you can select the mail server's priority. If multiple mail servers are available for a single domain, the priority determines which server will be tried first. Or, might it be better to be more specific, e.g.: Here you can select the mail server's priority. If multiple mail servers are responsible for processing or forwarding mail within a single domain, the priority determines which server will be tried first. |
| Yes indeed, thanks! |

: Priority defines the order.Every mail server has its level of "priority". Mail servers with the highest priority will be tried first, if none of these are available then those with the second highest priority will be tried and so on...
