Hi all,

I've run into a problem that has been described before, but I can't seem to find the solution. This problem is this:

When I try and download my email, the connection is disrupted. Qpopper 4.0.5 reports this in the logfile :

popper[9323]: (v4.0.5) TLSv1/SSLv3 handshake with client at 10-4-2-146.kotnet.org (10.4.2.146); new session-id; cipher: RC4-SHA (RC4-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=SHA1), 128 bits
popper[9323]: apop "luc"
popper[9323]: POP login by user luc from (10-4-2-146.kotnet.org) 10.4.2.146
popper[9323]: I/O Error
popper[9323]: Error writing to client
popper[9323]: luc at 10-4-2-146.kotnet.org (10.4.2.146): -ERR SIGHUP or SIGPIPE flagged
popper[9323]: luc at 10-4-2-146.kotnet.org (10.4.2.146): -ERR POP hangup from arrhenius.chem.kuleuven.ac.be
popper[9323]: Stats: luc 0 0 8 956624 10-4-2-146.kotnet.org 10.4.2.146


I'm running this on a RedHat 9 system with all recent patches , Qpopper 4.0.5, and Eudora 5.2.1. In the mailclient I get the above error messages below the mail as it was downloaded up to that point (usually just the headers).
I have other problems with SSL-connections as well on other machines, but these do not produce the above error messages, but rather simply abort the connection early on during the POP handshake (SSL handshake is finished by than, and the messages are decrypted properly as they are readable). I assume the lack of the above error message is due to this error occuring prior to the actual pop mail session.
Non-SSL transfer does not give problems (POP/APOP).


Anybody seen this before (and hopefully solved it) ?
Many thanks in advance,

Luc Vereecken
