I do something like the following:
fetchmail -m '/usr/bin/procmail -d %T'
This bypasses the local SMTP server and delivers directly to my mail
spool file, which I can then just use 'inc' to incorporate.
In sum, since many MTAs use procmail for local delivery, just call
it yourself via fetchmail, and use whatever options you want.
--ewh
I used to do this, and have procmail do crude spam filtering.
I eventually took it out of the loop because mail spool was not a
reliable concept in my (relatively highly distributed) world. I'm
curious if it gives any benefits today; I would expect machines
without working mail spools to be even more common, but I
haven't looked in forever.
