Ah: do you mean configure fetchmail to send its mail *directly* to
procmail, rather than going via sendmail?  So my current configuration is:

POP3 -> fetchmail -> sendmail -> (.forward) -> procmail -> destination
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^****^
and I guess you're suggesting missing this bit out?

Yes, that is exactly what I do, and seems to be a good way to remove
sendmail from your mail chain.
