I did poke around at this, but found that the fmd smtp notification uses 
sendmail, and has a dependancy on it, so I put the effort into getting 
fmd working via snmp instead.

I'm probably biased, having had to hire a "sendmail expert" for a week 
to create a complex email routing server with Solaris, that I later 
replaced with postfix myself in an afternoon (on Centos).

I'm a fan of the minimal "fries with that" OS approach, and then clip in 
your favourite packages.

I'm about to "update" a 40Tb snv_134 storage server to OpenIndiana.

I've migrated the data already, and there is a considerable difference 
in setup around networking and zfs ACL's especially with sharing 
filesystems with both nfs and smb.

Mark.
