That's a nice idea!

So the idea is you have some Internet host -- maybe a cheap VPS or 
something -- that can download mail from the real provider, then 
gate it to NNCP?

I suspect you could make this work pretty easily with fetchmail 
(particularly with the --bsmtp command, for instance).  My Exim 
example at http://www.nncpgo.org/Exim.html illustrates using bsmtp 
over NNCP.  It could use --mda instead also.
