Which version are you using? The following works with 4.3.4-1, and has been
for a long time with older versions:

-------------------- ~/.fetchmailrc -----------------------------------------
defaults
        fetchall
        mda             "formail -s procmail"
#       mda             "/usr/bin/formail -s procmail"
        stripcr

poll some.pop.server.net
        protocol        apop            
        user            someuser
        password        somepassword
-------------------- ~/.fetchmailrc -----------------------------------------

but notice how I used to use a complete path to formail as fetchmail (2.x or
3.x) used fail at bott.
