Ahem:

11.82.167.72.in-addr.arpa       name =
p3pop01-v01.prod.phx3.secureserver.net.

So your mail provider _is_ secureserver.net.  And the only thing that was
wrong was that both fetches were failing to authenticate.  I can't help
with that.

That's normal.  You _ask_ for pop.gmail.com (just as you ask for
mail.wadesmart.com), but the big providers will use various load-sharing
schemes to route you to different hosts, so if you see messages back from
them (and you usually only see errors) they'll have the address of the
physical machine.
