Nobody is telling you that you HAVE to authenticate (ie, send AUTHINFO
PASS).  Just use the information provided by the USER command to setup
the server for the given domain.  You can do this with ACLs, chroot(),
fork() a process, I don't care.  The whole point is that this command
already exists and can provide you with the info that you need.
