To receive mail, no. You can use the -m or --mda command of fetchmail
to specify your MDA as procmail, thus bypassing sendmail. But to send
mail... most probably you'll need sendmail. (I've heard of something
called ssmtp, check that out.)

Not me, guy. I read the Bash man page each day like a Jehovah's Witness reads
the Bible. No wait, the Bash man page IS the bible. Excuse me...
