So why can't you serve a webmail login page for both domains?  Seems
reasonable, but even if you can't, you can still configure the plugin
in other ways.  You can have a user map that tells it how to behave
for each user, or the more appropriate thing to do if you offer login
to multiple domains from the same login page is to use the Multilogin
plugin to let the user decide with a drop-down selection.
