It sounds to me like the Qpopper that is executing was not compiled with openssl support, but there could be something else going on. Have you tried running Qpopper with debug tracing and seeing what it says? To enable tracing in Qpopper: 1. Do a 'make clean' 2. Re-run ./configure, adding '--enable-debugging'. 3. Edit the inetd.conf line for Qpopper, adding '-d' or '-t <tracefile-path>'. 4. Send inetd (or xinetd) a HUP signal. (Steps 3 and 4 are only needed if you use inetd (or xinetd). In standalone mode, you can add '-d' or '-t <tracefile-path>' to the command line directly.) (In either standalone or inetd mode, if you use a configuration file you can add 'set debug' or 'set tracefile = <tracefile>' to either a global or user-specific configuration file instead of steps 3 and 4.) This causes detailed tracing to be written to the syslog or to the file specified as 'tracefile'. --
