yes it is implemented that way, but if you have (like in my case) for
every domain that you host an vhost with mail.yourdomains, than it would
be easier to work with wildcards (like i've set it up in the apache vhost)
insted of editing all the time the logindomainlist.

as jesse writes later in the same mail: "So these records should appear at
the END of the logindomainlist file if you wish to attempt a match on
other records first, or override your default entry."  .. .so this
would also work with your example ? and nobody has said that you HAVE to
use the wildcards ;-)
