Apples and oranges. You're comparing MacHTTP's treatment of the domain name
to SIMS's treatment of the username. There's no username in an HTTP request
so it's not all that relevant. SIMS distinguishes between two different
domain names just fine (via the router).

Your problem is actually with the POP RFC. As was pointed out, the POP
username is just supposed to be a username, not user@domain name. So to do
allow a username to be repeated in different domains and remain RFC
compliant (unlike a lot of POP servers), SIMS, by necessity requires some
extra work in the router.
