Pppconfig 2.0 can be told to put a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d that will
install a different resolv.conf for each ISP. The ISP name is also passed
to the ip-up.d scripts in $6 and PPP_IPPARAM.

Ok. I won't tell you to install exim, even though I'm fairly sure it could
be readily configured to do what you want. I really don't understand why
you wouldn't want to have your mail transferred automatically in the
background every time you connect, though.
