POP is not generally for sending mail. It is typically used to retrieve mail. It sounds like you have a problem with your SMTP server. One thing that kind of hung me up in the past was assuming that I could always use the account smtp.nullplusone.com. It would work fine on some connections, but not when dialed into some isp's. I later learned that you should be using your internet service providers smtp server. For example, lets take AOL. AOL will let you use any SMTP server in the world, with no problems. However when you dial into JoeBlow ISP, you should use something like smtp.joeblow.com.
