Yes. Probably because Apache is returning my-host.tld as  
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] because that is what it is answering the  
request as (since this is what the client is requesting based on the  
email address).  This is what the $conf['server']['name']  
configuration is designed to override.

Maybe because your my-host.tld server is the default virtual domain?
