The POP3 protocol does not have a domain name; there is nothing to "detect"
unless you impose a convention for the login name.

Mail addresses don't map 1:1 with POP3 identities. I may have, and in fact
often have, multiple e-mail addresses funnel into a single POP3 mailbox.
Other addresses may exist for the sole purpose of contacting some bit of
mailet programming, e.g., a list address or monitor.
Actually, it looks as if a good chunk of this is already done. :-) The
[user, domain] -> address mapping looks like what Serge Knystautas had in
mind with the JDBCAlias mailet
(http://jakarta.apache.org/james/javadocs/org/apache/james/transport/mailets
/JDBCAlias.html), but it doesn't appear supported by the user management
tools. I am guessing that his source address column is assumed to have the
domain embedded within it.
