Have a look at a different MTA, masqmail is designed for
dialup-connections:
Description: A mailer for hosts without permanent internet connection
MasqMail is a MTA (mail transport agent) and POP3 client for hosts
that don't have a permanent internet connection, eg. a home network
or a single host at home. It has special support for connections to
different ISPs, and will work nicely along with the masqdialer.
.
In these cases, MasqMail is a slim replacement for full-blown MTAs
such as sendmail, exim, qmail or postfix. The POP3 client can be
a small replacement for other full-featured tools like fetchmail.
Additionally, the configuration is very easy.
