Re: local mail delivery

Fetchmail retrieves mail from remote mail servers and forwards it via 
SMTP, so it can then be read by normal mail user agents such as mutt, 
elm(1) or BSD Mail. It allows all your system MTA's filtering, 
forwarding, and aliasing facilities to work just as they would on normal 
mail.

in short: it is fetched and inserted into your mta

Hi,

I am wondering how should I setup a server.
I have installed spamassassin, and am using
fetchmail to get mail from another host.
Now, I wouldn't want to install procmail.
I do not understand how the mail travels:

I make a ssh connection to start imapd
on the target mail-host with fetchmail, to
get the mail, but to whom program does
fetchmail give it to? sendmail? Or does it
put it directly in the mailspool?
Some other program?
I have spamd running, so does it know
that sendmail/spool/other is getting these mails,
and would know to scan them?
I am running 5.1 "out-of-the-box" with
programs installed from a recent ports-tree.
Thank you in advance.
