No route to host - but can telnet!

I'm getting this error when attempting to connect to a POP3 host (on usual 110 port):

MessagingException when attempting to connect to a POP3 email box, because of:
javax.mail.MessagingException: Connect failed;
nested exception is:
java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host
at com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Store.protocolConnect(POP3Store.java:148)
at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:275)
at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:156)

The odd thing is, I can telnet to it fine.

Any ideas what's wrong?
