Thanks again, Matthias.  Yes, it still works fine with, after adding the
sslcertck; I ran it manually and saw the mail host state that the
fingerprints matched.

Re running fetchmail as root - I suspect the Ubuntu people may have
tightened it, as I just did an su.  I tried a bit harder than this (see
below) to run it from root, but there's no HOME dir for the fetchmail
user and so I gave up trying and just ran it as me.  Here's the gist of
my Ubuntu 10.04 run-fetchmail-as-root attempt:

root@posher:/var/log# fetchmail -v -f /etc/fetchmailrc 
fetchmail: WARNING: Running as root is discouraged.
File /etc/fetchmailrc must be owned by you.
root@posher:/var/log# ls -l /etc/fetchmailrc
-rw------- 1 fetchmail root 1768 2012-09-23 12:43 /etc/fetchmailrc
root@posher:/var/log# sudo -u fetchmail fetchmail -v -f /etc/fetchmailrc
fetchmail: lstat: /root/.fetchids: Permission denied

Anyway, all is well.  I'll upgrade fetchmail manually in a few days.
