1) Upgrade to 6.3.8
2) Use daemon mode
3) Download the certificate by running the following TWO lines:

openssl s_client -connect remote.server.net:993 </dev/null | sed -ne
'/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p'
>/usr/local/openssl/remote.pem

c_rehash

Replace "remote.pem" and "remote.server.net" with relevant names.
