I had two fetchmailrc (for no good reason) and I updated the wrong one.
After finding the right one and updating the hostname to
mx.antartida.xyz, I also had to get a new certificate to match the new
hostname.  Then my fetchmail was able to pull mail once again and
deliver it to my IMAP server to tell Gnus (my reader) that I indeed have
new mail.  (Yes, I plan to simplify this as soon as possible.  I need to
learn more about everything.)
