Hello Giulio,

it seems to me, that the server you are using is using a mechanism
known to me as "POP before SMTP" to authenticate senders.

You just have to tick the appropriate checkbox on the "send"-tab of
your account-settings to enable this method for that server.

It is, alas, a somewhat flawed method, as anybody from your host is for
a certain amount of time able to send mail via that specific server
after the host ist authenticated. So it would be more secure to use
SMTP-Auth, if supported.

Kind regards

Alexander
