- Sendmail is a MTA (transport agent). It just sends mail from machine to
machine.
- Procmail is a MDA (delivery agent). It gets mail from sendmail and
PROCcesses it.
- Fetchmail could be considered an MUA (user agent). It gets delivered mail
from a mail store on remote machines.
All three are separate animals.
