Not exactly, though it would be easy either to modify
tpop3d or to write a perl authenticator to do this. At
present the two local account authenticators use the
username as supplied by the client, and won't try to
authenticate users who've supplied a domain; this could be
changed by altering the code in auth_pam and auth_passwd.c
