   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here's your answer.  This means that the SMTP server that you
use as a relay is poorly configured.  There is a FAQ entry:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/misc.html#FREEBSD-MAIL-BOUNCES

Looks like the 4th bullet point applies here.  Whoever admins
that mail server needs to fix the config so it uses a real
host/domain name in the HELO command, not "popimap02.icare.priv"
