Unfortunately you used an inappropriate version number, so I've flagged 
the package for rejection.


Currently unstable has version 4.53.0-2. The version you used - 
4.53.0-2+deb9u1 is *higher* than the unstable version, which is wrong. A 
backport to stable of that version should be 4.53.0-2~deb9u1, in the 
same way as backports uses ~.


Please also use "stretch" as the changelog distribution, rather than 
"stable".

I just uploaded to the stable-proposed-upload.

This stable package was based on 4.53.0 which was released right before
the Stretch release.  Since then, upstream found a regression in 4.53.0
and released its specific fix as 4.54.0.

I had packaged it as 4.53.0-2 to sid and had no problem migrating to
testing.  Its changes are in patch file for your review.

This upload is a simple repackaging under stretch chroot to pass the
benefit to the stable package without risk.  Please accept this to the
nest stable release.

The testing will package new getmail version 5 series.  They carry more
changes and will not be uploaded like this to stable.  Also most likely,
its package name will be changed to simple "getmail".
