No, fetchmail can also work without a local MTA. It can pass fetched emails to a local programs or scripts, like: # cat /tmp/deliver.sh #!/bin/bash cat >> /tmp/text # fetchmail -u user -m /tmp/deliver.sh mail.server Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 1 message for user at mail.server. reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 of 1 (1631 header octets). (5 body octets) flushed And we have a mail written to /tmp/text. > This local MTA doesn't have to be listening to any external ports or > anything, but you do need something on that system to fill that role of > taking the mail handed to it by fetchmail and then feeding that to the > right program with the right command-line options.

But I don't want or need any MTA here ;) So I guess it's just a matter of simple scripting: fetching correct email using fetchmail, and passing it to mail/mailman program in a correct way.
