Oops, my mistake. I meant it's not doing a POP on replies and only on
new emails.

I think your log shows just that:
First the attempt to send a reply

May 12 10:28:26 ns sendmail[5337]: h4C9SPA05337: ruleset=check_rcpt,
arg1=<dsvcnds.vcmnsl@xxxxxxxxxxx>,
relay=host213-120-32-223.webport.bt.net
[213.120.32.223], reject=550 5.7.1 <dsvcnds.vcmnsl@xxxxxxxxxxx>...
Relaying
denied 

Then the POP login which should have come first:

May 12 10:28:27 ns in.qpopper[5338]: (v?) POP login by user "jcb12" at
(213.120.32.223) 213.120.32.223 
May 12 10:28:29 ns in.qpopper[5339]: (v?)
POP login by user "ourclient" at (213.120.32.223) 213.120.32.223 

I see a client of mine that always has two logins two seconds apart as
well.

Are you sure POP b4 SMTP is running?

May 12 10:29:34 ns sendmail[5408]: h4C9TYA05408:
ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<dsvcnds.vcmnsl@xxxxxxxxxxx>,
relay=host213-120-32-223.webport.bt.net [213.120.32.223], reject=550
5.7.1
<dsvcnds.vcmnsl@xxxxxxxxxxx>... Relaying denied 

That attempt came only 1 minute after the POP from the same IP so it
should have been allowed if POP b4 SMTP was running.
