You need a MTA anyway, correctly configured (i suggest postfix).
Fetchmail do only one job, get email from remote pop3/imap and pass it
to local MTA, so, if you install a MTa end configured it as specified in
MM documentation, you haven't any kind of problem.
OK, is there some trivial MTA I can run e.g. procmail, would that be suitable? How does Mailman actually retrieve the email meant to be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] anyway?
If you have a static IP (and only if you have one) and a flat connection
you can evaluate a dynamic 2� level domain like yourname.homelinux.com,
don't do this if you have a dinamic ip or if your server isn't connected
24h/24h.
If you CANNOT install any MTA I think is impossible to run MM...
Well I'm seriously thinking of it. I'm just wary of the whole business of leaving a SMTP server open on the Internet.
