The way fetchmail works, you download e-mail from the remote server
and pass it on to the local MTA. Therefore, you have to have a local
MTA on the recipient machine. For Mailman, you need something to
read those aliases and do the right thing with the messages being
processed.
This local MTA doesn't have to be listening to any external ports or
anything, but you do need something on that system to fill that role
of taking the mail handed to it by fetchmail and then feeding that to
the right program with the right command-line options. The easiest
way to do that is to run a real MTA on that server.
