I actually managed to get it going yesterday on both my laptop and PC. :)

Just install dma, remove /var/spool/mail/* from previous attempts (due to
wrong permission), and `echo test | mail root` worked like a charm both for
root and my user. But for some reason, when root mails to my user, the mail
remains stuck in the queue in /var/spool/dma. But that’s not really a
problem because it’s an irrelevant use case.

Now I finally have smartd messaging, and getting it into my mutt sidebar was
only one line away in muttrc. Coincidentally, I found out that I seem to
have smart monitoring included in KDE already. But that doesn’t help me on
the NAS, of course.
