The file service protocols are the obvious critical standards, but there are many others that we support as well, including standards for DNS, telnet, inetd, RPC, XDR, portmapper, lockd, NIS, ARP, RMT, rdate, NDMP, syslog, SMTP, etc. Most (if not all) of these have RFCs describing them. We support many of these in client-mode only, such as NIS, DNS, SMTP, etc., because our goal is not to serve these protocols, but to be a client to them in order to simplify administration.
If NetApp claims to support SMTP, it would be nice if you could fix the bug where SMTP commands from a NetApp box are only terminated with LF, not CRLF as RFC 821 explicitly specifies.
(I reported this on 12 March this year, and later heard that it was acknowledged as a bug, bug #4268.)

There are a few other problems with the smtp implementation; it's not RFC1123 compliant either. But then again, most OSes out there these days are not strictly compliant with RFC 1122/1123. (For example, SunOS 5.x will automatically start operating as a router if it has more than one interface.)
