+For those in the U.S., there is a set of SSL patches for fetchmail
+available from the <a href="http://www.cryptography.org">North
+American Cryptographic Archives</a>, in the SSL directory. You have
+to answer three questions about your qualification to access the
+archive, before you are allowed in. You can enter through the main
+page for the server and browse the archive, or you can go <a
+href="http://www.cryptography.org/cgi-bin/crypto.cgi/SSL">straight to
+the SSL directory</a>. There you will find patch files against the
+fetchmail release sources as well as patched source tarballs.<P>

+While we cannot make the SSL sources available to anyone outside of the
+U.S. at this time, if the patches do leak out of the U.S. through no
