The focus is not on setting up different subdomains as asked by OP, but it does show how subdomains are treated (using the example 'branch@xyz.com').

As implied, you can set up multiple subdomain MX records and point them to different destinations.
I'm confused. The OP was NOT asking about subdomains.

The article IS about defining different DNS records for domains and their subdomains.

In an email address like "womble@xyz.com", the "womble" part is not a subdomain; there's no subdomain involved in that email address.

For the domain "xyz.com", a subdomain (eg "collector") could be defined; then anyone emailing an address there (ie: "collector.xyz.com") would use an email address like "recyclingwomble@collector.xyz.com".
