If I understand the process properly (after doing the appropriate 
research), why would I need a procmail step at all?

I set up my fetchmail to poll a POP3 server for incoming mail to 
LISTNAME-admin, LISTNAME-bounces etc. Each fetchmail rc line has mda 
set directly to mailman, avoiding the procmail step entirely -- am I 
missing something?

e.g.

poll something.com with protocol pop3 username "LISTNAME" there with 
password "XXX" is "mailman" here mda "sudo -u mailman 
/usr/share/mailman post LISTNAME"
