Eric et al:
Thanks again for a great app. I am receiving an "unknown command"
error while polling an SSL wrapped version of QPop. I connect to three
different servers via three different methods -- only the SSL server
generates the error. I have attempted to use various preauth options to
eliminate it to no avail. V5.6.3 does not exhibit the behavior. The
following error on both my side (client) and the the server:
(client side):
Feb 15 19:12:44 <client> fetchmail[262]: Unknown command: "auth".
Feb 15 19:12:49 <client> fetchmail[262]: Unknown command: "auth".
(server side):

## This is the problem server:

True name of server is <fqdn.auth.err.srv>.
Protocol is POP3.
Password authentication will be forced. #<-- tried ssh, any,
password w/ same err.
SSL encrypted sessions enabled.
Server nonresponse timeout is 300 seconds (default).
Default mailbox selected.
All messages will be retrieved (--all on).
Fetched messages will not be kept on the server (--keep off).
Old messages will not be flushed before message retrieval (--flush
off).

Carriage-return stripping is disabled (stripcr off).
Carriage-return forcing is disabled (forcecr off).
Interpretation of Content-Transfer-Encoding is enabled (pass8bits

Hope this is sufficient to find the problem. I haven't looked for it
in your source 'cause I got my own stuff to debug :-/ I'll be dropping
back to 5.6.3 for now. NOTE WELL: The pop DOES succeed -- it is just
the annoying error messages that I want to quell.
Regards,
ken
