I'm guessing that this is a warning that your mutt is contacting a server 
which is returning a different SSL certificate to the URL of the mail server 
in your configuration.  For example, you may have configured mutt to contact 
mail.verizon.net, but the server you are actually contacting (local?) is 
campbellfamily.biz and this returns a different \CN= than verizon. Mutt asks 
you to accept or reject the certificate, but your script does not allow for 
this and it bails out.  Do you still get this problem if you try to use mutt 
to connect to the same without the script and manually accept the certificate?
