Inconsistent TLS access to POP account


Gerard

Recommended Posts

I am having a problem using TLS with my SPAMCOP account. Using straight SSL on port 995 usually works OK. However, using TLS on port 110 is a hit or miss proposition. Here are two logs of my attempts to download mail using TLS.

* Connecting to POP3 server: mail.spamcop.net...

[13:17:11] POP3< +OK Hello there.

[13:17:11] POP3> STLS

[14:09:57] POP3> STLS

[14:09:57] POP3< -ERR TLS support not available.

*** couldn't start TLS session

*** Error occurred while processing mail.

I am using claws-mail on a FreeBSD-6.3 machine, although that should not make any difference. If it works one time, it should work all the time.

We have several machines in a load-balancing fault-tolerant system. It looks like STLS was not enabled on at least one machine. I've changed this and I think it should work across the system now.
