Hi Nico,
The relevant snip from my user config file is:
poll owa.massey.ac.nz with
proto pop3
user prynhart there with password "**" is prynhart here
ssl
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %s"
The host "owa.massey.ac.nz" is a Microsoft Exchange 2007 Outlook Web
Access node.
If I try invoking the debian packaged version of fetchmail I get:
$ /usr/bin/fetchmail -v

I note that the Debian packaged version attempts an "AUTH GSSAPI" which
appears to fail whereas the version of fetchmail build from source does
not attempt this.

Hey,

Thanks for your mail. However, I'm not trying to match the version of fetchmail
shipped with Lenny - just attempting to get a version of fetchmail with SSL
support that works within our environment. (In particular, I'm not using Debian
src, rather the tgz downloaded direct from the fetchmail site.)
Ok
What I have noticed is that if I "aptitude install fetchmail" then we end up
with a version of fetchmail which is unable to retrieve messages via POP3 in
our Exchange 2007 environment; this has been confirmed by other users of this
shared server. However, if I build fetchmail with SSL support from source
(obtained direct from the fetchmail website) then mail can be retrieved.
Can you please provide a relevant snippet of your config file?
Cheers
Nico
