Configure Qmail normally, except that you'll initialize control/smtproutes
to have all non-local E-mail smarthosted through your ISP's mail server.
Then, motify the ip-up script to automatically send a SIGHUP to qmail-send
when the connection to the Internet is established, causing all pent up
E-mail to be flushed to the smarthost.
