repoquery --whatprovides smtpdaemon

ssmtp

all of those packages provide the necessary virtual provides that
fetchmail is asking to be filled. So in reality.. this particular

package that provides smtpdaemon... modularity via the virtual
provides.

repoquery tells me that the only things that explicitly need sendmail
are milter related.
