I have had exim as my local MTA for delivering local email from very early on, and never set up fetchmail. Instead, I used an MUA that could handle remote POP3 and/or IMAP, and just dumped everything into the common filters. Even with my current DSL connection and a dyndns.org subdomain, I haven't taken the time to fuss over configuring fetchmail, as using the multiple sources in my MUA works perfectly fine. I realise that if I b*gger things up in configuring fetchmail, I could lose email until that is caught and fixed, so I see no current value to making the switch. -- Mark L.
