force ssl3 check 🔗 link

Anybody knows how to force ssl v3 in pop3s or smtps? A have some services
that only allow ssl3 connections but xymon do ssl2 check by default
and cheeks fails.
I got this working setting this line:

    contest.h   ->  #define SSLVERSION_DEFAULT 0

into this one:

    contest.h   ->  #define SSLVERSION_DEFAULT 2

and recompile but I don't know if there is a easier way to do it.

Cheers,
    Raul
