The 'maildomain' command is only used when 'auto_from' is on, to
construct an envelope from address. But you already set this with the
'from' command.

You should probably define two accounts in your msmtp configuration
file. Since they will be very similar, you can put all common
settings in a 'defaults' section, and put only the differing commands
into account sections:

-----------
defaults
host ...
tls ...
log ...

account one
from webmaster@...280...
user webmaster@...280...
password ***

account two
from webmaster@...281...
user webmaster@...281...
password ***
------------

Now you have multiple options:
- if you can use different php.ini files for your domains, you can
  choose an account with the --account option.
- if your php scripts set a 'From' header in each mail depending on the
  domain (e.g. 'From: webmaster@...280...' and 'From: webmaster@...281...'),
  you can use the --read-envelope-from option of msmtp. Then msmtp
  reads this From address and automatically chooses the account that
  has a matching 'from' command.
