Now you know why fetchmail wants to talk to SMTP by default, and why ESR
doesn't like the mda option.  (I insisted that it stay when he wanted to
remove it.)

I'm on FreeBSD 4.9 running sendmail with mail delivery to old fashioned
Unix mailboxes in /var/mail.

Why not let fetchmail talk to your sendmail then?
