Which all looks entirely plausible and correct, so...

Going back to your first message, you stated that it might be due to the
user's AV software. If they're using one of the Norton-alikes (I think
it's those) which act as a POP3 proxy - you connect your MUA to
localhost:110, and the proxy process makes the actual call to the remote
POP server - then you could well be right. Getting them to turn it off
and use Outlook directly to the POP server sounds liek a good plan.

Doesn't look like an Exim-ism to me, I must admit.
