I just suffered an outage to my home Inernet server that looked like it 
was going to last for a week or so, and started to scramble to figure out 
how to set something up so that my home mail server (which could reach the 
Internet via a cell card) could receive e-mail. The phone company 
surprised me by showing up thursday when they scheduled for saturday, so 
the issue became less pressing, but I want to get this figured out and 
documented for the next time I have an issue.

Several years ago I setup a non-profit with a dial-up internet connection 
and had the e-mail server connect out via UUCP to a server with full-time 
connectivity for the e-mail delivery, and that worked well.

so can anyone point me at a document for how to configure inbound e-mail 
connectivity to a site that has intermittent Internet access from 
unpredictable addresses? Is there a better way to do this than the UUCP 
approach I used in the past?

I can configure whatever I need on a server with full time access to 
serve as a relay point for the mail (if needed I can get a EC2 host for a 
short time as needed).

I want this to be able to handle all the e-mail for a domain, and store 
the mail on the disconnected network (so things like 'use gmail' or 'use 
fastmail.fm' are not good options)
