Unfortunately, this log is useless, as it does not show the raw data
which I need to figure what's going on. "tcpdump -w", in my version,
causes tcpdump to write raw packet data, which I could then have decoded
with tcpdump -r or tethereal -r, to see if the line ends are correct and
such. Please also add -s20000 to as to capture full packets.

WARNING: If you provide such a log, you _must_ change your password
afterwards unless you are using APOP.

In case -w works, it's best to uuencode the file so the banner doesn't
harm it (what <censored> put banners into .txt files!?).
Do: uuencode filename.txt <filename.txt >filename.txt.uu
then upload the .uu file.

If your tcpdump doesn't have the -w option as "save raw data", try -X,
if that doesn't work, try -x. Remember to change the password unless
you're using APOP.
