If you can get smail to work, use it.
I used to use smail, when I had a bo system. When I upgraded to hamm some
seven months ago (last december), I half-accidentally installed exim instead
of smail, and have since used it and installed it several times without
trouble.
I think there has been a lot of changes between bo and hamm versions of exim.
Last night I watched a person (who had never even seen Linux) to install
hamm (and exim) without any troubles. The only information I gave her was
where to find the relevant documentation.
