Not happen here:

While Opera/6.0/Linux/TP3 without or with Javascript (which looks
like not working here) don't proceed because of the local Squid is
blocking  access to port 110, in Netscape 4.78/Linux with Javascript
this given URL is working well, in this case it looks like there is
no request made to port 110.

Perhaps message above is sent by local firewall or proxy.
