[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#568455: fetchmail TLS/SSL with Exchange 2007 results in Autorization failures

Package: fetchmail
Version: Lenny
Severity: important


After upgrading from Debian Etch to Lenny using SSL/TLS to retreive email via POP from our Exchange 2007 environment is broken.  
All attempts to retrieve mail (with credentials provided in users .fetchmailrc files) result in "Autorization failure"

The certificates used to secure our Exchange environment are issued by DigiCert Inc (I'm not sure if this is related but thought that the 
CA for this certificate could have been dropped between Etch and Lenny - however, if I build from source and compile against the 
Debian Lenny provided SSL libraries then the problem is resolved).

The issue was resolved by building fetchmail 6.3.13 from source with SSL support enabled.
