Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.
smartd won't always require networking, so making such a change
distribution-wide is probably not the best solution. You adapted well to
your local configuration settings, and I'm glad it worked.
Other MTAs probably would have handled this better I suspect, as ssmtp
doesn't handle queueing.
Also note that -M test in smartd.conf is not about sending a test email
on boot, but on restart of the smartd daemon. It can happen anytime, not
just during boot. An upgrade of the package could trigger that, for
example. In which case it would work, as network is already up.
It feels like a corner case, and I'm not sure there is an elegant
solution that applies to all cases. Always depending on the network
online target would increase boot times unnecessarily.
