UUCP is a good choice here, but you need some host in internet acting as
the other end of the UUCP link.
For me UUCP works great over the last 10 years.
Sending mail while being offline would mean that your exim should only
spool the message and start a queue runner process as soon as you're
connected. It works.
Of course, it doesn't solve the problem receiving while being offline.
As stated somewhere else in this thread, you'll need some host in
internet, storing the mail until you're online and can poll it
(fetchmail + ETRN or POP...) or until that host can forward it to you.
We use such scenario forwarding our mail from some internet connected
exim to our dialup exim using ssmtp to ensure that the receiving (dial
up exim) is the one that we expect... (some kind of VPN would be fine
here as well).
