FreePops and FetchMail POP3 Auth Error


Hi everybody.


I'm going to configure fetchmail for take the mails from a pop3 server (domain @libero.it) to forward into gmail using fetchmail.

I have to use freepops because in Italy this domain doesn't allow pop3 access outside its xdsl connection (really s..t)


Now, this is my fetchmail configuration:
Code:
set logfile "log.txt"



# set username
set postmaster "root"
# set polling time (5 minutes)
set daemon 15

poll 0.0.0.0 with proto POP3 and port 2000
   user 'ema@libero.it' there with password '**' is emanuele here
keep

Free pops is a fake pop3 works locally, it still works!

Freepops listening pop3 and imap connection at 0.0.0.0:2000 or 127.0.0.1:2000

The connections to the real pop3 server works but fetchmail autentications doesn't.

This is the log:
Code:
fetchmail: 6.3.21 querying 0.0.0.0 (protocol POP3) at Thu 24 Jul 2014 10:06:56 AM CEST: poll started
fetchmail: Trying to connect to 0.0.0.0/2000...connected.
fetchmail: POP3< +OK FreePOPs/0.2.9 pop3 server ready
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA
fetchmail: POP3< +OK ANSWER FOLLOW
fetchmail: POP3< TOP
fetchmail: POP3< USER
fetchmail: POP3< UIDL
fetchmail: POP3< .
fetchmail: POP3> USER ema@libero.it
fetchmail: POP3< +OK PLEASE ENTER PASSWORD
fetchmail: POP3> PASS *
fetchmail: POP3<
fetchmail: Unknown login or authentication error on ema@libero.it@0.0.0.0
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT
The password is correct, the same configuration with ssl/imap mail enabled with gmail works.

How i can remove this:
: Unknown login or authentication error on ema@libero.it@0.0.0.0


Thanks
