Sorry about the possibly off-topic post: As of Thu 28 Sep 2006 11:47:56 PM EDT, I can no longer fetch mail from pop.gmail.com. Fetchmail produces the following: fetchmail: Unknown login or authentication error on bchiodini@[email protected] fetchmail: socket error while fetching from bchiodini@[email protected] fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) Running fetchmail in the foreground with the -v option: fetchmail: 6.3.4 querying pop.gmail.com (protocol POP3) at Fri 29 Sep 2006 02:22:47 PM EDT: poll started fetchmail: Issuer Organization: Equifax fetchmail: Unknown Issuer CommonName fetchmail: Server CommonName: pop.gmail.com fetchmail: pop.gmail.com key fingerprint: 59:51:61:89:CD:DD:B2:35:94:BB:44:97:A0:39:D5:B4 fetchmail: POP3< +OK Gpop ready for requests from 67.34.137.95 28pf1185241wrl fetchmail: POP3> CAPA fetchmail: POP3< +OK Capability list follows fetchmail: POP3< USER fetchmail: POP3< RESP-CODES fetchmail: POP3< EXPIRE 0 fetchmail: POP3< LOGIN-DELAY 300 fetchmail: POP3< X-GOOGLE-VERHOEVEN fetchmail: POP3< UIDL fetchmail: POP3< . fetchmail: POP3> USER bchiodini@xxxxxxxxx fetchmail: Unknown login or authentication error on bchiodini@[email protected] fetchmail: socket error while fetching from bchiodini@[email protected] fetchmail: 6.3.4 querying pop.gmail.com (protocol POP3) at Fri 29 Sep 2006 02:23:47 PM EDT: poll completed fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) fetchmail: normal termination, status 2 As best I can tell, the certs check. openssl s_client -connect pop.gmail.com:995 -CApath /home/bob/.certs/ CONNECTED(00000003) depth=1 /C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority verify return:1 depth=0 /C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc./CN=pop.gmail.com verify return:1 --- Certificate chain 0 s:/C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc./CN=pop.gmail.com i:/C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority --- Server certificate -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIC3TCCAkagAwIBAgIDBZIAMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAME4xCzAJBgNVBAYTAlVT MRAwDgYDVQQKEwdFcXVpZmF4MS0wKwYDVQQLEyRFcXVpZmF4IFNlY3VyZSBDZXJ0 aWZpY2F0ZSBBdXRob3JpdHkwHhcNMDUxMTE1MjEyMjQ0WhcNMDcxMTE2MjEyMjQ0 WjBoMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzETMBEGA1UECBMKQ2FsaWZvcm5pYTEWMBQGA1UEBxMN TW91bnRhaW4gVmlldzEUMBIGA1UEChMLR29vZ2xlIEluYy4xFjAUBgNVBAMTDXBv cC5nbWFpbC5jb20wgZ8wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADgY0AMIGJAoGBAMP8LCYiLGJ/ RihwcOi1V/zHVTw0Gfu+mI141Vjuuj2DtQoav8emwlXbu8gZoKP9GeMWpX1Vo9qN 4gkslIToHmDnIwGjcaEAfpdhSR9g54Kf5Y7BEXVyco6mTIlpe9vsbV0dmB1FvLP2 1N09dkUJfi7V0fjb8mcn3QYu6+6QNoxPAgMBAAGjga4wgaswDgYDVR0PAQH/BAQD AgTwMB0GA1UdDgQWBBTdASsopgao1m8hcEg0cDZhucltljA6BgNVHR8EMzAxMC+g LaArhilodHRwOi8vY3JsLmdlb3RydXN0LmNvbS9jcmxzL3NlY3VyZWNhLmNybDAf BgNVHSMEGDAWgBRI5mj5K9KylddH2CMgEE8zmJCf1DAdBgNVHSUEFjAUBggrBgEF BQcDAQYIKwYBBQUHAwIwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQADgYEAln3/pVqYnUXA1TVGzOqX LFhohGxpuNkr1UJnQmYxmZeB07uPBYRX8c0JXEKs29TmAHRsLhmp8kF36F11Dxgi Xm/Y8I9zgWHoMj7SL3Ve/u8K8K7XcUyUuaWmldLQAREafpFy+f+KYHGuAVh8hjy6 XyPlMCqj+PNp8QXjgOcgO68= -----END CERTIFICATE----- subject=/C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc./CN=pop.gmail.com issuer=/C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 891 bytes and written 332 bytes --- New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is DES-CBC3-SHA Server public key is 1024 bit Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1 Cipher : DES-CBC3-SHA Session-ID: 21F49F1DF2F05D6B518D5ED4EFC2E670BF019E1E5CDE113D56812A0344B37644 Session-ID-ctx: Master-Key: BC84BAA384BE7DC5757D505D1223966F38A0DCF38216A47B49A63B902ADDE39156923D1F11DA88D2A29E7E818A70060A Key-Arg : None Krb5 Principal: None Start Time: 1159554385 Timeout : 300 (sec) Verify return code: 0 (ok) --- +OK Gpop ready for requests from 67.34.137.95 44pf2498554wri DONE Nothing has changed in my config.
