emerged the 5.9.14 fetchmail and it keeps trying to do some sort of SSL stuff, and will not authenticate. My ~/.fetchmailrc is unchanged and looks like: poll mail.server.net protocol pop3 user "user" password "pass" mda procmail -d user In the failing case, here is a verbose log: fetchmail: starting fetchmail 5.9.14 daemon fetchmail: 5.9.14 querying XXX (protocol POP3) at Fri, 13 Sep 2 002 18:41:50 -0400 (EDT): poll started fetchmail: POP3< +OK POP3 XXX v2001.78rh server ready fetchmail: POP3> CAPA fetchmail: POP3< +OK Capability list follows: fetchmail: POP3< TOP fetchmail: POP3< LOGIN-DELAY 180 fetchmail: POP3< UIDL fetchmail: POP3< STLS fetchmail: POP3< USER fetchmail: POP3< SASL LOGIN fetchmail: POP3< . fetchmail: POP3> STLS fetchmail: POP3< +OK STLS completed fetchmail: SSL connection failed. fetchmail: Authorizaion failure on XXX fetchmail: POP3> QUIT where XXX is me and my server. remerged 5.9.11 manually so I can get some mail:( Paul (just ask if more details are wanted.)
as a temporary solution while I test it myself. emerge without the ssl variable set. USE="-ssl" emerge fetchmail Please let me know if you still have the problems connecting with 5.9.14 when compiling out ssl support.
I dont see the reported problem when merging without ssl. (perhaps unsuprisingly:) I havent exerted any energy investigating the problem, but if you want me to try stuff, or cough up more info I will. Paul
fetchmail-6.1.0 has been released into portage which fixes this problem. With ssl support enabled OR disabled things should work with pop3 now.
