i have a registration form on my website which sends an email to the person with a temporary password

this is the code for the form

<form method=post action=authpage.php name=registerform onsubmit="return validate_register ( );">
<table class="m1_text">
<tr><td align=right>RefNo:</td><td><input type=text name=refno></td></tr>
<tr><td align=right>Email:</td><td><input type=text name=email1></td></tr>
<tr><td align=right>Email Again:</td><td><input type=text name=email2></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td align=center><input class="s_text" type=submit value=Register></td></tr>
</form>

this is the code for the mail function

$recipient = $email;
  $subject = "Mywebsite Registration";
  $body = "Thank You for you're claim with my website\n\n";
  $body .= "You're Password is: ".$password."\n"; 
  $body .= "Thank you for registering\n";
  $body .= "To Login Please Visit http://www.mywebsite.co.uk/login.php";
  
  
  $from = "From: noreply@mywebsite.co.uk"; 
   
  if(mail($recipient,$subject,$body,$from))
  {
	echo "We have sent you a temporary password";
	?><br>Please Check your e-mail<br>
	<a href="login.php">Login</a><?php
  }else{
	echo "We havent sent you a temporary password";
  }

The variables are posting correctly from the form and the mail function sends to emails such as yahoo.co.uk and gmail.com but not to pop3 based addresses

Mail is sent to a user's mail server though SMTP. It is retrieved via POP or IMAP (or web mail). The problem is therefore not really PHP, but the client.

Client as in webhost or mailhost?

Sounds like you need to read how email works. You don't send to a POP-based system; you send to an SMTP server. The end user uses POP or IMAP to get the mail from the mail server.

Another quick overview.
