I use ifplugd (apt-get it) and fetchmail...

When plugged, my ifplugd config start exim to flush the queue (Exim is
configured with smarthost).

About fetchmail: When plugged, fetchmail is started to read mail from my
mail server, and stay running to fetch every xxx minutes.

When unplugged, fetchmail is stopped, just to avoid error messages.

Hope this help.
