I just called. Parameters look fine, pop3 is enabled. It then looks like:
1) I do have discovered some new bug in their server, or
2) it does require some obscure fetchmail setting, which they don't
know
Use telnet to port 110. This eliminates fetchmail from the equation (a piece
of software they don't know or support), and proves that their POP3 server
is not working with the username/password they have given.

$ cat log.txt
then mail this file to them. (Incidentally, the -ERR response to QUIT is
also a bug in their POP3 server)
