download fetchmail package, and read its manpage. It can be configured to
deliver to any number of local accounts easily. You can then set up a cron
job that would dial up your ISP, run fetchmail, and 'sendmail -q' (or 'smail
-q' or runq or whatever depending on the mail program you have installed )
which delivers all outgoing mail to your isp's mail server provided you
configured your Mail Transport Agent(MTA, examples: sendmail, smail, exim)
correctly.
