Thanks Jah, I pulled the script down after your commit and it seems to
be working now.

I think the issue is that pop3.lua doesn't appear to try to use SSL to
port 995 even though the service was fingerprinted as ssl/pop3.
Shouldn't we be passing a protocol of 'ssl' or 'tcp' to the
socket:connect routine rather than nothing (which defaults to TCP)?
