Or you can have a second A record, pointing mail.domainB.com to the 
same IP as mail.domainA.com.

It is absolutely valid to have multiple A records pointing totally 
different names at the same address, and/or PTR records pointing 
reverse DNS for one IP address to multiple names. Some programs 
claiming to be DNS servers might not support such things.

(#include MacDNS is crap rant)

OR you can get discrete user namespaces by following the docs on the
