  On my system I run sendmail, which is configured to use procmail for
local mail delivery.  Fetchmail runs in daemon mode and just passes
messages off to sendmail.

  Procmail finds the .procmailrc in my home directory which tells it
where to store all the mail.  Actually the .procmailrc just points
to a number of smaller files in a directory for the sake of
organization.

  I really wish I could remember which Howto told me how to set all
this up - if I can find it I'll let you know.
