$ man fetchmail.
Fetchmail will retrieve mail from a remote location, then deliver it
locally via your specified mechanism. In my case, procmail, which
filters it to folders.
Only fetchmail needs to know the pop information, it delivers mail
locally to exim. Procmail fetches mail from exim and dumps it to my
local folder(s). My mail agent (mutt) reads my local folders. It sends
_out_bound mail through exim, which is configured to use my ISP's SMTP
relay as a smarthost.
The only two external interfaces are fetchmail (incoming) and exim
(outgoing).

No.
