No, you do not *need* postfix, but your MDA *must* deliver to procmail
in some manner. You may process the mail with procmail:
formail -ds procmail -m <recipe.file> <mail.file>
formail -ds procmail <mail.file>
The crux is that the MDA *must* deliver to procmail.
ps. I have installed rss2email and it works w/o a problem after
assigning the work-a-round for the unknown mail-from address. I do
have postfix/procmail installed. But I set rss2email to deliver
direct to local mail, not to gmail or my provider.
