Unfortunately this is true for Netscape (4.x and 6.x) clients,
but Mozilla does send the domain portion. If I remember this
correctly from testing this is also the case for SMTP AUTH.
We did solve this by having a unique ip address per each virtual
domain but not using qpopper but a commercial product.
Since there is no formal support in stndards for virtual hosting
for POP and IMAP access this is the result. It would be nice
to formalize this in standards either similarly to HTTP or
by formalizing the domain part during login.
Sadly, Netscape clients are lacking many of the features of
MS products, and those that are supported are often badly
implemented...
