The POP3 server should identify itself by it's real/canonical name, not by one
of its virtualdomains -- although this is personal preference. It doesn't
have any particular effect on mail service anyways.

It doesn't know anything about domains -- that's your virtual domain manager's
job (in this case, through the vcheckpw checkpassword replacement).

If you run vmailmgr-assisted qmail-pop3d, Courier-IMAP, and (say) oMail, then
yes, users will be able to use any method they like. By the way, all POP3
clients can be configured to leave mail on the server.
