My telepathic skills are a little rusty so without anything about your
setup.....

Look in the log files, see what the results of the scans were, if the
opennms box can indeed connect to smtp, it will discover it. Sometimes
after a node is discovered and you add a service their will be a little
delay before it reflects. I am no guru, but I suspect it depends where
in the polling cycle this occurs.
