If its using that, and they dont also do imap before smtp, then you
might have to try turning on the popb4smtp authentication in the smtp
sending options page.

All it does is a pop connect to the same host as the one in the
receiving page, so if they're different it might not help.

If that extra newline wasn't a paste-o, then it could also be some
hostname lookup problem, but thats only if its getting the name from the
local /etc/hosts file.  The workaround for some libc bug is to remove
comments/spurious lines/whitespace from the file.
