Mail::Audit (a procmail replacement by Simon Cozens) comes with a script
which you can run to turn it into a fetchmail replacement as well. The
idea is that you can just leave it running in daemon mode and it'll
deliver mail etc without having to fork off extra processes.
Assuming you've got your filtering scripts sorted out properly, this
will probably be the most lightweight solution going.
And it's Perl. And it's available from CPAN. Result.
