One suggestion is to develop a shell script, which performs the FTP
operation, and invoke it from the script you use to start your PPP
connection.

You could try to FTP your inbox directly. It is normally at
/var/spool/mail/${your_user_name}
(Don't forget to first rename the inbox and then FTP the renamed inbox, so
that there'll be no problems with E-mail which arrives exactly when you
are FTPing your stuff.)

Invoke sendmail -q& at the same time you run your FTP script.
