The option is 'allow_remote_connections = True' (note the 's' and '=').

But that only affects the web interface and not the POP3 proxy - the proxy
should allow connections from any machine.  When you start pop3proxy.py,
you should see a message like this:

Listener on port 110 is proxying pop3.demon.co.uk:110

This corresponds with my bayescustomize.ini:

[pop3proxy]
listen_ports=110
remote_servers=pop3.demon.co.uk

Does your setup look similar to this?
