Hi. We are running a qmail based system with vmailmgr, for about 20k mailboxes at about 300 domains. I am very happy with it, it is rock solid and fast. It doesn't exactly fit your description, but may be worth a look anyway.

The users can log in with their full email address or as domainuser-mailbox. It also supports ip based virtual domains, so they can log in with just the mailbox name. > The POP server to handle this?
