3. What is best solution for mail delivery for my single desktop and
mail account on ISP server ? "smarthost", "local delivery" or "SMTP" ?
Now I know it's kmail and I do not need exim at all.
Agreed that the case of a desktop machine connecting to an ISP needs to
be treated as a significant portion of the user base, and a correct
option explained.
I still need exim for programs that send reports by email, most notably
reportbug.
My ISP offers the option of a mail server accessible via SSL on port
465. exim4 does not support this natively, but can be coaxed into doing
so (see http://www.technovelty.org/linux/tips/exim4ssmtp.html ).
I'd really like to know why exim4 doesn't support this outgoing smtp
over SSL on port 465 without resorting to stunnel and have filed a bug
about this missing feature.
GUI installer wouldn't help much there, rather default automatic
windows-like installation for newbies, when you're asked only for empty
partition and your name. Curses or GIU - no matter.

A curses-based installation can be done in text mode, which is great for
when it is difficult to get the monitor working in graphics mode.
