This isn't how it's done. Each user chooses to use maildrop, as he
would procmail. I guess you can use the .qmail file to do this, but I
call it directly from fetchmail in my .fetchmailrc file with:
mda "/usr/local/bin/maildrop"
BUT...
Perhaps someone can help me to see the light here. I'm given to
understand that people here complain about fetchmail's handing off of
mail to the MTA as being flawed. I had trouble with it when I was
still using sendmail, blamed it on sendmail (another "Lost in Space"
episode), and bypassed the problem by having fetchmail hand off
directly to procmail.
These days, having had way too many sendmail adventures, I've switched
to qmail. Calling the MDA (now maildrop) directly from fetchmail is
an inherited arrangement from a resolution to earlier troubles. And,
with this arrangement, I've had no trouble with fetchmail.
I would consider switching to getmail, but I didn't see a way to run
this via ssh. Is this possible?

There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the
existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and
any marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to
run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.
This is obviously impossible.
