Fetchmail by default delivers the mail to the SMTP port so if you have SMTP
running there is no need to run Maildrop, at least I think so. You'd have to
add
smtpaddress <your local domain> to the .fetchmailrc
If you plan on sorting things out by the header you will need procmail but I
am not very sure of how to get it working with Maildir directly.
