One thing you can do is, have in your ip-up.local (assuming your POP
server is pop.myisp.com, as is entered in your .fetchmailrc):
if fetchmail -c pop.myisp.com ; then
fetchmail -v -d 300 # No need for &, since -d goes into backgroud
# automatically
fi
sendmail -q
The first fetchmail will just check if there are mails on the server. If
there are any, the second is run in the background, and in any case,
sendmail -q is started. Checking for mail is quite fast - fetchmail needs
to issue just a STAT command to the POP server.
