Is there any way to force fetchmail to use tls and to drop the connection if it's not available?
I've tried the option "sslproto tls1" in fetchmailrc but that doesn't work
if the server doesn't offer tls but does just offer an unencrypted
connection.
The option ssl would appear to do the trick except that that connects on
a different port and putting in a port 110 and I'm back to it still
working if the server doesn't offer encryption at all.
Any ideas?
Tim.
p.s. This has come about because an upgrade to mailutils-pop3d (debian)
on my server replaced the inetd line with one that didn't have the
--sslcert and --sslkey options but this wasn't immediately obvious
because everything still worked.
