Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.18-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
When using fetchmail in verbose SSL mode, fetchmail writes the message "Server
certificate:" to stderr.
Since this message is not an error (an it is not consistent with the ususal
behaviour of fetchmail) it
should be written to stdout instead.
Since I run fetchmail crom a cronjob this behaviour becomes particular
annoying, because cron is
sending the output of stderr every time fetchmail runs.
