Sendmail uses it for local mail delivery by default on Fedora, and it

Sendmail isn't "tricked" by the altered "To:" address; what fetchmail
has done is to forward the mail to a new (local) address. All sendmail
is doing is delivering the mail just as it would for any other mail it
was handling.
Fetchmail doesn't have to work this way though.
Out of the box it does .
If you use fetchmail's
"mda" option, it can invoke procmail directly and not use sendmail at all.
I have to admit that i missed that part entirely .
