Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.6~rc3-1
Severity: important

Hi there!
I'm using fetchmail to get mails from an IMAP mailbox protected by SSL.
The configuration I use did not change at all, but since the last
upgrade, fetchmail gives an authentication error.

The configuration is:

poll XXX via XXX proto imap
    user "forcer" password "XXX" is "forcer" here
    ssl fetchall no keep
    sslkey /home/forcer/.sslimapcerts/private.key
    sslcert /home/forcer/.sslimapcerts/forcer.cert
    sslcertpath /home/forcer/.sslimapcerts/
    sslfingerprint "CE:5F:68:83:38:32:53:63:5A:21:29:94:80:A5:02:16"

Despite the user argument, fetchmail tries to authenticate as Jorgen
Schaefer (my real name - I don't know where it got that one from, maybe
the certificates?):

Trying to connect to XXX.XXX.XX.XX/993...connected.
