Fetchmail. ;)

Seriously, before being blessed with a 24x7 DSL connection with a static
IP address, we used to have virtual hosting and would hook up only
intermittently using I-Manila. We used Fetchmail to retrieve email from
our "catch-all" address and had it rerouted to local mailboxes using the
Received headers. There's a lot of information on this in the Fetchmail
manual page, and no, it's not limited to "individual mails". If each of
your community's members has personal email login information, you can
encode each of this into the fetchmailrc and have Fetchmail send mail
for [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the POP3 server mail.foobar.com to
foobar@localhost.

You will probably still want an MTA that will handle outgoing mail via
your ISP's outgoing mail server, which will act as your MTA's relayhost.
The MTA + MDA will also handle local-local mail, plus mail that
Fetchmail will throw to it.
