You can use fetchmail with -m to force the mail it retrieves directly to 
procmail rather than forwarding to port 25 (so no MTA needed).

fetchmail -a -m "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"

then procmail does its delivery to the mailboxes.  

Then i read the mail with Mutt and use my ISP's smtp to send with this
setting in .muttrc

set sendmail="/usr/bin/nbsmtp -d isp.net -h smtp.isp.net -f urname@isp.net"
