Did you notice the -mda option of fetchmail?

'man fetchmail':

       -m <command>, --mda <command>
              (Keyword:  mda)  You can force mail to be passed to an MDA
              directly (rather than forwarded to port 25) with the  -mda
              or  -m option.  To avoid losing mail, use this option only
              with MDAs like procmail or sendmail [...]

I guess you meant you "would *not* say no" to something not debianized,
right?
