This is not strictly true - according to your transcript it never responds
to the USER command either.

A correct exchange (from my logs) is:

+OK demon POP3 server ready
USER cbts
+OK 
PASS <password>
+OK 

The problem could be one of:

i) You're not waiting for the '+OK demon ...' before starting (unlikely) 

ii) You're not terminating lines correctly (all commands and responses
should be terminated with a CRLF pair)

iii) You're not flushing the send buffer after each command.

Ben.
