IMHO the very best solution is UUCP. It's designed for traffic between
disconnected sites and includes sophisticated scheduling (e.g. connect
only if the last connect was more than 4 hours ago, connect only between
8pm and 8am, connect only for high priority mails ... )
You should ask your provider for an UUCP account, this will show you
the qualification of your ISP. (As I believe, only the really
experienced ISP can handle UUCP, probably the most newer ISP not even
know about it or say it's very ancient ... but I know companies only
accepting UUCP as their connection to the outer world, since for 'em
firewalls are not fireproof enoght ;-))
