Hello all.
A colleague has very recently upgraded his Debian system at home
from Jessie (not sure which version) to Stretch (9.9) and from
that moment, fetchmail has failed to collect emails. I/we are
relatively inexperienced with diagnosing & fixing such problems
and are looking for any advice people here may be able to give us
to overcome this problem. When fetchmail polls the email server,
we get the following error message:
Jun 14 09:21:02 localhost fetchmail[15672]: Your OpenSSL version
does not support SSLv3.Jun 14 09:21:02 localhost
fetchmail[15672]: SSL connection failed.Jun 14 09:21:02 localhost
fetchmail[15672]: socket error while fetching from
cccmail@mail.chem.com.auJun 14 09:21:02
its rather plainly telling you your ssl version is too old.
Perhaps it did not get upgraded with the rest of the system? Make
sure the security channel for your repo is enabled.
Checked in dpkg, which tells me that fetchmail and openssl are both
upgraded to the current versions.
Is this the relevant section of the sources.list:
deb http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/ stretch main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
This leads me to think that the security channel is enabled, but I
have been known to be wrong about these things.
Anything else I need to be looking for?
I think I would verify that both are using the same version. You might
even compare the installed .conf files. Got to be a diff someplace.
My own isp's mailserver is using dovecot, and doesn't use sslv3 just
plain ssl. And because they also serve imap users from the same
accounts, fetchmails DELE is ignored, so I log in daily with a browser
and clean house. Does your email agent have a "check what the server
supports" function?
I've been known to use that, then transfer those results to fetcmail's
recipe.
