I had the same thing happen to my pop3 servers. It may have even been the same tool. The following accounts were tried:

administrator
admin
backup
root
server
test
webmaster
web
www

This is only the second time I've noticed this in my logs. There were 161 attempted logins this time and all came from 61.144.128.177. This is an address in China.
