Quick collection of installation issues with SFE packages on OpenIndiana

• If you want dovecot + postfix with SMTP AUTH:
  uncomment the section with "unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth" in config file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf
   
• if you want SFE postfix to install you may need to relax version constraints (OpenIndiana):
  pfexec pkg change-facet facet.version-lock.service/network/smtp/postfix=false
  This unlocks the version of the package from the userland so you can do:
  pkg install -v pkg://localhostoih/service/network/smtp/postfix
   
• Then check the mediator for email:
  pkg mediator

  sendmail     system            local      postfix-sfe
  To set the mediator use:
  pfexec pkg set-mediator -I postfix-sfe postfix-sfe
  This creates symlinks in the ususal places, so programs expecting sendmail binaries can call your postfix

• LibreOffice 4.x and 5.x on OpenIndiana Hipster
  You may see an error from IPS that there is a file conflict when installing libiconv from SFE repo. The related issue is being worked on by OpenIndiana developers and tracked here:
  https://www.illumos.org/issues/7755
  We have a workaround to downgrade libsmbclient to version 3, see the paragraph LibreOffice to get the "version unlock" steps:
