Pop3d user lookup problems. (Imapd works great)

[Mycrom]

I don¹t believe it (It shouldn't) opens the mailbox until you have been
authenticated. In my case the pop server refuses on the user lookup before
being asked the password. The pop process should have never reached a point
to open the INBOX for processing. Imap I was able to log in fine and open
the INBOX. I have not stopped to dig into source but I suspect the pop
either has allowed user character parsing or is separating the user from
domain and attempting to just look up the user. If I use a user of just
"cyrus" pop logs in fine it seems. Not a shock as I was using the wrong
version for virtual domains.

Thanks guys for the help and currently packaging a 2.2 rpm for testing.
