It's a commandline option, and from reading the manpage, apparently can be
added to a fetchmailrc:
Almost all options have a corresponding keyword which can be used
to declare them in a .fetchmailrc file.
[...]
--sslcertfile <file>
(Keyword: sslcertfile, since v6.3.17)
Sets the file fetchmail uses to look up local certificates.
If you wanted to add it to the commandline, you could put this in your
/etc/rc.conf: fetchmail_flags="--sslcertfile"
