We should configure:

The priority value on MX records.

Explanation:

The MX recoerd has a priority value that can be configured when you are using two mail servers on a network. The MX record has a preference system that can be used to prioritize the MX records of multiple mail servers on a network. The mail server with greater preference number will be used first so in this case, we should configure the priority value of MX records to access Mail1 and then Mail2.
