24 Retrieve the certificate from the previous address and move it to a
25 directory D, and add the following lines to your .fetchmailrc :
26 =================================================================
27 sslcertpath D # where D is the directory where is the certificate
28 =================================================================
29 You can also add sslcertck if you want fetchmail to check whether the
30 certificate presented by the server is trusted or not...
