Postfix is probably the easiest drop-in replacement. But IMO
a packaging of it should get lots of testing before going into

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.
postfix will handle that just fine. It is just a packaging issue.
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).
Not keen on reading and writing sendmail rulesets? Yeah, me neither.
Forgetting to use tabs just makes you go bonkers later.
I'm a fan of the minimal "fries with that" OS approach, and then clip in
your favourite packages.
Well, sendmail would be minimal...you'd have to patch it to be mysql
table lookup support for example while postfix will just require
enabling to get mysql/pgsql/pcre lookups...maybe too fancy for some.
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.
I guess using samba means that I will miss out on that kind of stuff.
But I don't see considerable difference in networking unless you are
talking about nwam or more features...
