Is there anything to watch out for with this. I've never got it to 
work.

telnet sdps.demon.co.uk 666
swampdog
ye_old_password

it pauses for a bit then then complains that USER or PASSWORD was 
invalid whilst scanning mailbox. What should I be entering, or is it 
just blocked while smtp is actually receiving?

It sounds like you haven't setup a POP3 password, telnet to
password.demon.co.uk and set one up.
