You can use mda option provided in fetchmail as SMTP alternative.
I recommend using procmail as mda in ~/.fetchmailrc e.g.:
Heh... I'm an old procmail user, and was happy to be able to switch back to it from sieve (which I never really got the hang of), when moving from cyrus to dovecot.
But I'm not sure if I'd ever *recommend* it to someone else.
On a side note: the exim default config of debian (and debian derivatives, like Ubuntu), uses procmail for filtering and delivery if it is available, and there is a .procmailrc file in the users' home directories.
I use *both* (procmail script as fetchmail's MDA and sieve).
Somehow I prefer to: a) avoid passing messages via local MTA (fetchmail's default) b) avoid calling dovecot's deliver directly from ~/.fetchmailrc
