Why does CUPS over UUCP come to mind? LOL...

The e-mail is received by a specific alias and is then decoded to a
specific, dummy (date/time-based?) filename. That filename is spooled in a
directory. Another box comes in, scans the directory and downloads the
contents (zmodem?)

It would be easier w/o POTS.. .just have a cronjob that does it all?
