Try this simple guide to test your pop server functionality >> http://www.activexperts.com/activemail/telnet/ then ask your SysAdmin to see in the MTA (Mail Transfer Agent: a program that transfers e-mail in or out of a system, most often using SMTP) logs if mail has been sent, if not then he will see some error in the MTA logs. It might not even be an issue with the firewall but its worth checking what is in the MTA logs first.
