What do the logs show?

Depending on your POP daemon, one can run APOP, thus sending an
MD5 hash of a server-generated challenge and your password.
Because the challenge should be based on time and PID, you
needn't worry about replay attacks.

That said, I do recommend forwarding mail (and perhaps even logs)
to a bastion machine.  What do your mail logs show?
