You should take a good book about UUCP.  This is exactly the situation
UUCP was designed for.  Offline processing, storing, forwarding of
mails, news (and in a more common sense: files).

Let your provider setup a subdomain and setup an MX record for that
subdomin pointing to your providers machine.  Your providers machines
mailer (smail, sendmail, ...) should be able to queue the mail in UUCP
batch jobs and transfer 'em as soon as you're connected (with UUCP over
TCP, if you're using PPP, else UUCP is able to run ``native'' over
serial lines.)
