It sounds like you may have configured getmail to use SSLv3, but Python 3.10 
may not support that old protocol.

When I run your command s_client command:

openssl s_client -connect fencepost.gnu.org:995

I see:

...
New, TLSv1.2, Cipher is AES256-GCM-SHA384
...

So newer TLS profiles should be supported by the server. Let me know if it 
still doesn't work for you.

Thanks,
Andrew
