I avoid having to worry about the MTA when receiving mail by putting
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
into .fetchmailrc and letting procmail deliver my mail. I'm not sure,
but I think the default behavior of procmail will deliver your mail to
the usual place. Otherwise, you'll need to write a .procmailrc file.
