You're not looking at an OS, program, or connectivity problem at all.  This is 
the message from the remote mail server telling you exactly what's wrong.

Is she connecting to the mail server provided by her ISP or some other mail 
server?  What's the ISP?

It's tough to say without knowing more, but here's my guess.  You're POPing 
mail from a third-party server and trying to send with that server as well, 
using authentication. Your ISP is blocking the traffic destined for the 
third-party mail server and rerouting it silently to their own.  Their server 
doesn't support authentication, so your client is failing when it tries to 
send authentication information intended for the third party server.

Sound familiar?
