I'm under the impression that it's unwise to use any version of OpenSSL other than the latest one. Do you think this is a bug with Eudora, Qpopper or the current OpenSSL library? Glad to know I wasn't going crazy. ; ) I guess I'll tell my users that SSL won't be available for Eudora users until the problem is fixed.
