[fetchmail]suppress SSL negotiation?

2005-04-19 07:37:30
Hi -- can I force fetchmail to skip SSL negotiation?

My email provider changed things around recently, and
ever since, fetchmail has been downloading my email,
but not without a "Server CommonName mismatch" warning
that is creating a lot of noise in my logs.

I traced this to a problem with the self-signed
certificate my POP provider uses. But this seems odd
to me, since I don't intentionally use any encryption
to grab the mail (see my .fetchmailrc below).

I am aware of the --sslcert option, but I'm interested
in just avoiding it if I can.

Here's a full transcript from a fetchmail session:
<start fetchmail session>
