[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#421446: fetchmail: Invalid SSL protocol '' specified, using default (SSLv23).

[Holger Leskien]

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.6-1
Severity: normal


Since the update to stable (etch) I get the following error message:

Invalid SSL protocol '' specified, using default (SSLv23).

My .fetchmailrc:

set no bouncemail
set syslog
poll sslserver.example.com proto POP3
    user "xxxxxxxx" pass "xxxxxxxx"
    ssl
    fetchall

There is no combination of "sslproto ssl2", "sslproto SSL2", "sslproto
ssl3", etc... which silences the message. Others seem to have the same
problem:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=247233

The comment the says that upstream 6.3.7 doesn't show this behaviour. So
I searched the fetchmail changelog but didn't find any hint what might
have been changed.
