Would it be possible to upgrade fetchmail in the sipb locker to
the latest version? 5.x has some nice features including:
Since 5.0:
* Following recent court decisions and changes in U.S. federal
regulatory policy, hooks for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) are now
part of the main fetchmail distribution. The distribution still
contains no actual cryptographic code.
* Support for AUTH=CRAM-MD5 under IMAP, a la RFC2195.
Since 4.0:
* Support for use of HESIOD with Kerberos.
* Support for Kerberos V authentication.
* Support for IMAP with RFC1731-conformant GSSAPI authentication.
* Fixed and verified support for Cyrus IMAP server, M$ Exchange, and
Post Office/NT.
This would be useful for dealing with the new PO servers and is motivated
by my attempt to create a useful mutt installation in outland. (This might
even fix bug-sipb[7415,7416], but that's rampant speculation on my part.)
