No, it's far from unique, I mumbled on about this for quite a while a
few months ago. No MTA is perfect for this situation but qmail is
pretty good.
My home network is called isbd.mynet and uses IP addresses in the
range 192.168.13.x, I use qmail to send and receive mail to/from an
ISP via dialup in almost the manner you describe.
The only difference in my case is that mail is sent and received
whenever the connection is brought up by another application. I have
a patch to qmail on my system called 'holdremote' which holds mail
queued until you switch off a flag.
I can't give exact details of my setup from here as I'm at work but if
you'd like to know more then E-Mail my home address below.
