fetchmail ssl issue - was Problems communicating with and between servers after upgrade

[Clive Menzies <clive@clivemenzies.co.uk>]

Hi

Independent of our recent issues, we've had a longstanding problem with 
fetchmail.

from /var/log/syslog:
"Warning: the connection is insecure, continuing anyways. (Better use 
--sslcertck!)"

It's something we've tried to resolve from time to time but gave up in 
frustration.

/etc/fetchmailrc:

<snip>
# to collect mail: @clivemenzies.co.uk :

     poll mail.clivemenzies.co.uk with proto POP3 sslproto tls1 uidl 
sslcertck sslcertpath /etc/ssl/fetchmail

        user "user@clivemenzies.co.uk" there with password "*********" 
is "user" here options keep
        user "another@clivemenzies.co.uk" there with password 
"********" is "another" here options keep

fetchmail won't run with ssl options we've tried various permutations 
and combinations to no effect. We've also tried using the fingerprint 
method instead but any options we add seem to break fetchmail. It 
appears to be a syntax error.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Clive
