cli-msn install

Hello all,

I am trying to install cli-msn. I have downloaded the package and done the install and modified the msn.conf with my username and password and also put in the path of where I think the curl-ca-bundle.crt is. It all looks correct. When I try to use cli-msn though I get the below error. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Code:
[20]CLI-MSN-2.3.2                                  [ Contacts ]
[20]Reading msn.conf...
[20]Read username [email]xxxxxxx@hotmail.com[/email] from msn.conf
[20]Read Password from msn.conf
[20]Read Certificate locality from msn.conf
[20]Logging: Enabled

Many thanks,
 
Hello again,

Has anyone got any pointers on this one? I've gone through everything again and reinstalled cli-msn from scratch but still no joy. I still get the same error.

Is there a way to see what port cli-msn is connecting on? I could then rule out a firewall problem although I doubt it is that. On doing a bit of research people suggest it connects on port 1863 for Windows Live Messenger but I wasn't sure that was correct as telnetting to messenger.hotmail.com on port 1863 from anywere seems to fail.

Many thanks,
