You'll want to base the server on option 1 (Internet site) or 2
(Internet site using smarthost), depending on whether you feel a need
to route all outgoing mail through your ISP's server. A few sites
will refuse to accept mail from 'unknown' machines and may assume
you're a spammer if you don't use your ISP to launder the mail.
Personally, though, I don't use a smarthost as these sites are few
and far between these days, provided that you have a static IP
address.
For the clients, use option 3 (Satellite system), using your mail
server as the smarthost.
