Operating system? openssl version? Can you tell the openssl version at the
server side?

I use fetchmail all the time for pulling down POP3 over SSL (port 995), with
lots of spam, and I never get this error. I run fetchmail 6.2.5 under
FreeBSD-4.8 and -5.2.1 with openssl 0.9.7c

I'm running Slackware 9.1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d, and fetchmail 6.2.5. I can't tell what version's running serverside.


I can run fetchmail as many times as I want and it STILL chokes on this particular message. I wouldn't care except I'm trying to get fetchmail to run every 5 min to download mail onto my own mail server. Does anyone have any ideas? If you need more info let me know and I'll post more. Thanks in
advance.

Does it work if you pull down *without* SSL?

No -> then we can use tcpdump to try and see what's happening.
Yes -> hmm, difficult to debug. Need to stick extra debugging printf's in
the code.

No, I can't get my mail any other way. I'm forced to use SSL. How can we use tcpdump to see what's going on?
