Seems you could add some commands to SMTP to say HELO and SEND me my mail?

You could do that with sendmail (or smail or whatever, too) - just route email
to a "mailer" that just drops it in a different queue directory by waving
sendmail over it again with command line switches to specify a different .cf
file. Then you could cron-run the queue on that other sendmail queue on a
different schedule. Seems like it ought to work (or I think I've seen others
suggesting similar schemes in the past).
