-Use of this option is discouraged. Before using it, contact your
-upstream and ask for a proper SSL certificate to be used. If the
-upstream is clueless, 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

-option when the CommonName is set to some other value, to avoid the
