I am using Rquest Tracker email system... So Fetchmail gets the email from a
pop server and delivers them locally and RT (Request Tracker) picks them up
from the local mail folder for the user. So procmail would go in between the
two?

No, it's a general-purpose mail filtering and delivery application.
Sendmail uses it for local mail delivery by default on Fedora, and it
can also be used to deliver mail by fetchmail if you like.

What does your fetchmail currently do with the mail you use it with?
