Maybe (smail)+diald+runq+cron. Use cron to call runq (which is a part of smail) and diald will
bring the link up automagically, and runq will send the mail. I don't know much about fetchmail's
multidrop capability, but that might require a POP mailbox for every user on the main server.
When you get this figured out, I would appreciate hearing how you did it.
Reading fetchmail's man page now,
