Was the server not sending or receiving emails?  From my research, it appears that pop-before-smtp has something to do with relaying email.  Well, you don't want to publicly relay email anyways.  The server should only relay messages if it comes from 127.0.0.1.  Were emails being sent / received, but just not allowing relay with the missing package?

if I remember correctly, the server did not receive the mail, so I was looking and looking .. the only option was to compile the package pop-before-smtp (although that point had already installed Ubuntu 12.04 again)

OK, I fixed the pop-before-smtp problem in the latest releases by downloading the source for pop-before-smtp, fixing a problem with the code that newer versions of perl weren't happy with, and then created a deb package that the installer / upgrader scripts download.

Please give it a try.  Email should now be sent / received without problems, I'm hoping, unless I've missed something else.

Ubuntu needs to add this deb package to the repository, maybe I should tell them.  Please test and let me know.
