You should have mentioned this first. This makes a huge difference.

If the SMTP service was defined but not started, then the POP server
might not have seen that config with TOP_HEADERS which explains the
error message.

And if you are not running the HP software to receive messages (aka:
using MX), then the formatting of incoming emails  would have been done
by MX and not VMS software, so any breaking of RFC822 heders would have
been done by MX and not HP software.

And it REALLY is necessary to look at the actual contents of the .MAIL
file to see if there is anything odd about the message which will cause
the POP server to ignore the actual RFC822 header and synthetize its own
from the mail headers.
