You problem is commonly a DNS problem. If you can answer the above
question with yes then it is sure. So check your DNS settings, at least
a proper setup of your /etc/hosts file. Because of lack of detailed
information about your network situation - like where the POP3 server
resides and how your mail client is connected to it - I can not give you
a more describtive answer.

I'm popping directly to the IP address, 192.168.123.175. It's about 10 feet
away on a 100Mbps connection.
You could still be having DNS issues...especially if you are using
ident. Check the xinetd.d POP startup stuff (typically
/etc/xinetd.d/ipop3) and see if you have something like
log_on_* += HOST
If so, delete the HOST bit or comment out the line(s). That causes a
reverse DNS lookup to be done for the client so the client FQDN can
be logged.
