Yes, but unfortunately, it is presented just like the ChangeLog,
so that it is confusing.

Yes, something like that. On some networks, I need
dc_eximconfig_configtype='internet' because the smarthost
is broken (and with dhcp, since I don't know how to get the
smarthost), and on other networks, I need to use a smarthost
because of firewalls.
