Just upgraded my fetchmail version from 5.9.12 to 5.9.13 this morning
and ran into the following error (5.9.12 runs fine BTW):
fetchmail: starting fetchmail 5.9.13 daemon

A simple telnet session succeeds:

But if I go the 5.9.13 way:
% telnet mail.t-intra.de pop3
Trying 62.156.147.75...
Connected to mail.t-intra.de.
Escape character is '^]'.

CAPA
Connection closed by foreign host.
It seems my pop3 server does not like the `CAPA' query (in fact, it
closes the connection on anything it does not like). Who is to blame?
Micro$oft again (I think this is a microsoft pop3 server at the other
end)? I can't find any reference to CAPA in rfc 1725, so I'm not
sure.
A CC: of any response would be nice.
