This warning:

   fetchmail: WARNING: pop.yandex.com configuration invalid, you normally need 
--ssl for port 995/service pop3s.

is triggered by this configuration stanza:

   poll pop.yandex.com
           no dns
           plugin         "socat STDIO SOCKS4A:127.0.0.1:%h:%p,socksport=9050"
           protocol       pop3
           port           995
           username       manny
           sslproto       'SSL3+'
           sslcertck
           sslfingerprint "94:6A:CF:B1:A7:BE:30:11:B5:E0:B1:F9:0C:3B:37:B7"
           fetchall

The 'SSL3+' is not accidental or arbitrary. It is there after a
struggle with the normal parameters (“ssl”) and experimentation found
SSL3+ was necessary in order to establish a connection. I stopped
using Yandex when they started blocking Tor years ago, so it’s unclear
whether “SSL3+” still needed. But that’s irrelevant anyway.

Thanks for the report.

The thing is fetchmail cannot assess what plugin you have, such for the
use with "plugin" - but you can probably omit the "port" line  or change
it to "port 110".

I'll see (as upstream maintainer) if I can quench the warning and
related ones with plugin in use.

Fixed upstream in Git commit 98a71f86, repos on
gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail and sf.net/projects/fetchmail branch
legacy_6x.
