"If no port 25 listener is available, but your fetchmail configuration
was told about a reliable local MDA, it will use that MDA for local
delivery instead. At build time, fetchmail normally looks for executable
procmail(1) and sendmail(1) binaries."

"-m <command> | --mda <command>
    (Keyword: mda) You can force mail to be passed to an MDA
    directly (rather than forwarded to port 25) with the --mda or -m
    option.  [...] Some possible MDAs are [...] '/usr/bin/procmail
    -d %T'."
