Are you getting fetchmail to invoke procmail directly with no SMTP?
My fetchmailrc contains:
mda "/usr/local/bin/procmail -f - RCPT=%T /home/edmund/.procmailrc"
I think the "-f -" might help you.
(The "RCPT=%T" is to allow the procmailrc to sort on the envelope
recipient using rules like "* RCPT ?? whatever".)

(Today I compiled exim and installed it as non-root. It seems to do a
better job than Red Hat's sendmail. I really don't understand why Red
Hat and sendmail have the reputation of being good, standard products;
they're a total mess compared with Debian and exim.)
