The subject said "SMTP server that requires POP authentication".  Is that part
of smtp-auth?  I looked at the RFC, but see no mention of such (and am not
familiar enough with mail protocols to know).  I was guessing that since he
mentioned POP authentication that he was referring to POP-before-SMTP (and
mistakenly using smtp-auth to try to authenticate).
