Source: fetchmail
Followup-For: Bug #926928

I've checked the manpage for fetchmail. There was the following in the
stretch package:

       --sslcommonname <common name>
              (Keyword: sslcommonname; since v6.3.9)
              Use of this option is discouraged. Before using it,
              contact the administrator of your upstream server and
              ask for a proper SSL certificate to be used. If that
              cannot be attained, this option can be used to specify
              the name (CommonName) that fetchmail expects on the
              server certificate.  A correctly configured server will
              have this set to the hostname by which it is reached,
              and by default fetchmail will expect as much. Use this
              option when the CommonName is set to some other value,
              to avoid the "Server CommonName mismatch" warning, and
              only if the upstream server can't be made to use proper
              certificates.

Beside that I think that the bug should be downgraded...
