No, you are correct. There is a bug in 4.1.1 - the packet filter
firewalling is not reconfigured and restarted when remote POP/IMAP is
enabled.
You can work around this problem by doing a "save" in the ldap or remote
access pages of the manager - both of these reconfigure and restart the
packet filter.
We will be posting an update once the fix has been verified.

He will not be able to send mail via the e-smith server in any case. He
should use his ISP's SMTP server for outgoing mail.
Or he could use webmail, which should be working fine, for both reading
mail, and sending.
