How do you know for sure?

Not likely. I have never had problems sending emails to myself using any
ISP I have ever had. Besides that, POP3 has nothing to do with sending
messages. It is only for downloading them from the server after they have
been delivered successfully. If a message bounces, you would receive it via
POP3 (or IMAP, depending on your ISP settings), but the bounce itself is
still handled at the SMTP level.
