UUCP (over TCP/IP) is your friend! I know that several will suggest
fetchmail or other solutions and that UUCP isn't the easiest to set up,
but if you take the time to figure it out, you'll have a reliable, robust
solution.

I support several dozen intermittently connected hosts and UUCP just works
