in order to get e-mail notifications for whatever software you may use you need to install and configure sendmail (no kidding).
In my case I needed to relay through my provider, upc.nl. Their smarthost is smtp.upcmail.nl. Let's do it!
Contents
install sendmail
by default omnios installs no mailer, so we need to install it:
# pkg install sendmail
Packages to install: 1
Create boot environment: No
Create backup boot environment: No
Services to change: 1

configuration
we need to modify an mc file that will be used to 'compile' the configuration file using m4.
The config dir in omnios for sendmail is /etc/mail/. The main config file is /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, but you must not edit this file directly. Instead, go to /etc/mail/cf/cf and copy the macro file main.mc to whatever.mc. This is my mc file:
divert(0)dnl
VERSIONID(`sendmail.mc (Sun)')
OSTYPE(`solaris8')dnl
DOMAIN(`solaris-generic')dnl
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.upcmail.nl')dnl
EXPOSED_USER(`root')dnl
FEATURE(`genericstable',`hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable.db')dnl
GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/generics-domains')dnl
FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')dnl
MASQUERADE_AS(`asenjo.nl')dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`zone4.asenjo.nl.')dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost)dnl
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain)dnl
MAILER(`smtp')dnl
after that, compile the config file (from /etc/mail/cf/cf):
m4 ../m4/cf.m4 whatever.mc > whatever.cf
I will not explain the settings, you may buy the bat book to learn all you ever wanted to know about sendmail but were to shy to ask. Suffice to say, this works for me.
masquerade addresses
upc.nl will not let me relay unless I say my from: address is something they like. So that is why I use the masquerading directives.
genericstable
we need to give root a decent from: address, so I make a genericstable file like this:
root user@domain.nl
and compile the database with
makemap -r hash genericstable.db < genericstable
copy config file
copy the whatever.cf file we just compiled to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and restart the sendmail daemon:
svcadm refresh sendmail
