Alex:

I just found some info on the leading dot thing....
It agrees w/ what you found on the sendmail.org site, but also claims 
that this wildcard syntax only works for resolvable domains.
I.E. this syntax can override "A" or MX records, only if they already exist.
If these sub-domains are not resolvable, then that may be the, or "a" 
problem.
