Most of 'warn' is populated by warnings from fetchmail that my one and only POP connection is 'insecure', that is, its not using TLS or anything.
There are settings in man fetchmail to cover that. I don't remember offhand.
I'm well aware of them and have tried them. That particular ISP doesn't support any kind of security on POP. I don't take that account very seriously.
Well, the idea is to silence the warning. Perhaps --sslproto '' (ie, empty string, means none).
I said "most". There are other equally lame warnings as well. most of them from KDE. Sometimes I wonder about the KDE developers; are they obsessed with using syslog or what?
I use several filters to silence thousands of messages from gnome or gtk tools. Somebody decided that dumping debug messages to syslog at warning level is a good idea, and has been doing so for years.
The kernel log rates it as a bug and asks you to report it ;-)
Bug 1037795
