We had the same problem until we had the POP3 users check "My server
requires authentication" in Tools-Accounts-Properties-Servers-Outgoing Mail
Server in Outlook Express.

Subject: POP3 issue after disabling relay

Hello Everyone,

Specs:
Windows 2000 server sp1
Exchange 5.5 sp4

At one time our Exchange server was setup as a relay agent.  We had numerous
ISPs like mindspring and earthlink block emails stemming from our domain.
Several days ago we corrected that problem by ensuring our Exchange server
is no longer setup to relay.  The following steps were done to prohibit
relaying:

1.In IMS we unchecked 'Hosts and clients with these IP addresses'
2.We also unchecked 'Hosts and clients connecting to these internal address
and remove the ip address and mask of our Exchange server.

We are having issues with our POP3 users after making these changes to
disable relaying.  We are getting complaints from users setup as POP3 that
they cannot send to external email addresses.  They can only send to our
internal users.  As a temp solution we have asked that our POP3 users use
OWA to send to outside clients.  At present there are approximately 13 POP3
users in our company so its not a major issues but just a slight
inconvenience for them.  Is there a way we can correct this issue and allow
the POP3 users to send externally?  Does any one have any suggestions?  Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
