  Protocol is POP3.
  All available authentication methods will be tried.

  SSL protocol: SSL23.

Invalid SSL protocol '' specified, using default (SSLv23).

so i checked the code:
	if(myproto) {
		if(!strcasecmp("ssl2",myproto)) {
			_ctx[sock] = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv2_client_method());
		} else if(!strcasecmp("ssl3",myproto)) {
			_ctx[sock] = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv3_client_method());
		} else if(!strcasecmp("tls1",myproto)) {
			_ctx[sock] = SSL_CTX_new(TLSv1_client_method());
		} else if (!strcasecmp("ssl23",myproto)) {
			myproto = NULL;
		} else {
			fprintf(stderr,GT_("Invalid SSL protocol '%s' specified, using default (SSLv23).\n"), myproto);
			myproto = NULL;
		}
	}

So as far as I can tell "Invalid SSL protocol '' specified, using default (SSLv23)." can't be shut up, google shows me this bug should have been fixed in 6.3.7 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=247233 any ideas??

Reproducible: Always

oops first line should be:
sslproto in .fetchmailrc OR --sslproto "ssl23"/--sslproto "SSl23"

Sorry, but shouldn't this be addressed towards upstream developers? As a packager, I can hardly do something with it...

Just thought I would check on this bug. Heres the fix, I can't remmeber where it came from but it's pretty tiny. Saves me hundreds of useless emails a day :D
