I beleive I remeber reading something about it using ssl to authenticate to the servers. But dont quote me on that. I do know that amsn needs ssl to connect.

The digging I did could only come up with this:

Thank you for that link. And if anyone else wants to know... Here's a snip from gaim forums.... I asked there the same Q:

Code:
#1 They updated the servers so that they no longer will accept clients that use older versions of their protocol (most 3rd party clients use / used older versions. Gaim MSN support has been updated so that it now uses MSN Protocol version 9 (i believe), which is the latest version (i also believe).

#2 Yes, the required version of the MSN Messenger protocol uses SSL.


May the SSL be with you :D
