If the MTA runs elsewhere and you can retrieve the incoming mail with fetchmail and run it through procmail, you can use procmail to pipe it to the wrapper appropriately.

If I understand the process properly (after doing the appropriate research), why would I need a procmail step at all?

I set up my fetchmail to poll a POP3 server for incoming mail to LISTNAME-admin, LISTNAME-bounces etc. Each fetchmail rc line has mda set directly to mailman, avoiding the procmail step entirely -- am I missing something?

e.g.

poll something.com with protocol pop3 username "LISTNAME" there with password "XXX" is "mailman" here mda "sudo -u mailman /usr/share/mailman post LISTNAME"
