aahh, there we go. So your provider's pop3-server is broken.
A leading dot in a line has to be escaped with another dot (see
RFC1939/STD53, "Basic Operation"). So it should look like this:
-- cut --
probe_point(10);// entry of function
..
..function stuff
..
..probe_point(11);// exit of function
-- cut --
Note that you should see three dots if you manually telnet to your
pop3-server.
I used the right arrows to make the MTA and MSA ignore the dots in
this sample.
This should never be necessary, since your MUA/MTA has to take care of
this.
