the problem isn't when sending email (smtp) but when receiving (pop3).

Qmail-pop3 runs supervised and starts with the following command located in
/service/qmailpop/run:

tcpserver -l0 -D -v -h -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup main.asco.ro
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir

qmail-smtp starts in the same way (supervised):
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -l 0 -D -v -h -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u
"$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 |
multilog var/log/smtpd

Could be one of numerous problems with Outlook, could be reverse (and
possibly
forward) DNS lookups.  You didn't tell us exactly how you're invoking
qmail-smtpd.

Check the FAQs and the archives.  Chances are this is actually the #1 FAQ on
this list.
