It looks like you extended the login page code to include custom headers
and footers based on domain.  If you don't care about doing that, Horde
2.1 and Imp 3.1 can be made to work with unlimited domains with a single
config using imp's vinfo hook.  I have a setup doing this with
Courier-Imap, Vpopmail, Qmail.  All users log into the POP or IMAP server
as their full email address.  They use webmail.their.domain as their
webmail server, log into it with just a username and passwd, and their
prefs/address book info are all stored using their full email address as
the username.

i.e.
http://webmail.wxjz.fm and http://webmail.holylandtapestries.com share the 
same config.  All we have to do to add domains is setup the DNS for 
webmail.new.domain to point to the the webmail server's IP (and of course 
set them up on the vpopmail server).
