I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to accomplish, but if you're using
fetchmail to get your mail from your ISP's mail server you can process the
incoming mail a lot easier just by using procmail. This eliminates the need
to configure sendmail or postfix makes life much easier. This is what I do
for every day use.
This only works well, of course, if you're not running a multi-user host
system.
