exim can be configured to run from inetd - I have the commented-out line
smtp stream tcp nowait mail /usr/sbin/exim exim -bs
in /etc/inetd.conf.
fetchmail can be told to deliver mail by calling an external program (ie
/usr/sbin/exim with the appropriate command-line parameters) rather than
try to connect to an SMTP server.
