Offline Mail Queues w/ Mac OS X?

Zorton asks: "After switching to Mac OS X (10.2) for my primary work/play environment I started to customize the system as I would a Linux or BSD system. One of the first things I wanted to tackle was getting mail into the machine and enabling offline mail queuing (as this is a laptop that roams quite a bit). After installing Fink I was happy to see some of my favorite MTAs available. However I was disappointed to discover there seems to be no mechanism similar to /etc/network/if-up.d (or similar). I spent a bit of time poking and prodding the system but the best I could come up with where some library functions listed on Apple's Developer Connection website. Has anyone tried to configure offline mail queues under Mac OS X 10.2? If you have how did you handle telling the MTA to transfer the mail you have queued up?"

What's next? I don't know how to do that in Mac OS X. Could somebody tell me the way to do this because my OS is very important to me.
Is there some many people that couldn't configure their mail and sleep at night?
I have one for you: I would like to use my old dos apps but without using Virtual PC or bochs because I don't like them.
