Determine POP3 server by email

Question:

Given an email like name@domain.zone .
It is necessary to define the incoming mail server (address and port) for reading the letter. It is desirable to specify a username.

Example:
For name@mail.ru should issue pop.mail.ru:110 username:name
For name@ekotek.info should mail.ekotek.info:110 username name+ekotek.info

For the latter, you can not check. Brought only to show that the names for postal addresses are taken not before the @ symbol. And I doubt that this is even possible for the latter (name definition).

BUT: The Gmail service defines the domain perfectly.

Answer:

I would venture to suggest that there is an enumeration of common names (pop, pop3, mail, relay, etc.) with a check on port 110.
