I thought I would just post a final update, just for future reference.

I published the SMF updates to 
http://notallmicrosoft.blogspot.com/2008/05/solaris-smf-manifest-for-mimedefang.html

No major changes to previous time, except I show the alterations I made 
to original "examples/init-script.in".

Thanks again,

Andrew
