Fetchmail can use various protocols, including etrn, which is used to 
flush queues on smtp servers. This is a common protocol: Microsoft 
Exchange 2000 and 2003 ship without a pop3 client and use etrn 
exclusively (unless you install some 3rd party client).

So you can use sendmail to collect mail using etrn, and most ISPs offer 
etrn, but this isn't what the OP was asking about.
