fetchmail-ssl question

[J. Kyllo]

I'm not doing this but I figured that since the list seems to be really
quiet I'd answer anyway.  Since it says that it will use SSL perhaps you
could use tcpdump and make sure that it's actually trying to connect to
the right port.  You can also make sure that the ssl libraries are
available and all that.  Just some ideas.
