Current versions of Fetchmail are dirt simple to configure with the use of
the Python/Tkinter-based configuration tool that Eric has included with
it. I didn't remember how to configure it when I decided to start using
it again, saw the tool, and didn't even need to re-read the man page.

Using your local MTA is annoying if you have a non-dedicated connection.
You're better off using an SMTP server, as you don't have to maintain your
connection until your MTA has successfully sent the mail.
