That is an Outlook (Express) error popup message. If you have configured
all porperly then this customer does not POP before SMTP.

Because internal mail is not relayed.

Why not using SMTP AUTH? POP before SMTP using DRAC is from times when
not many mail clients were able to do SMTP AUTH as was a hack. This is
meanwhile history. Only very old and poor clients don't know anything
about SMTP AUTH. Better switch from DRAC.
