I'm trying to stay away from beta-level software at my 
installation.  Here's what I'm running:

OS:  FreeBSD 4.5
OpenSSL: 0.9.6g
qpopper: 4.0.4
Eudora: 5.1.1

I haven't tried connecting to qpopper via SSL with other clients because I 
quite frankly haven't found any other POP3 clients that I can stand to use.

The tls-options setting that Brian mentioned below definitely doesn't work 
with 4.0.4:

Unrecognized option; scanning "tls-options" at line 9 of config file 
/etc/popper.conf

So does qpopper just not work with the more recent versions of OpenSSL?
