Reconfiguring the existing POP3 filter (it was set to outbound) didn't help
but I created a new filter identical to the one ISA on SBS2k had and now it
works.
Everything was pointing to ISA but I kept looking elsewhere because there
was allready a POP3 filter that was active and I thought it woud be enough.
I checked the old server and saw that it had a POP3 out filter and another
one that worked both ways. I was excpecting that ISA would be set-up by the
the connection wizard but...no
Anyway thank you for making me give a better look on ISA filters and solve
this small mystery.
