Hi,     We use snmp alerts for vs's pools etc, by modifying the user_alert.conf file...       Is there a way to setup the F5 device for sending the emails by itself ? and ...

Hmm... The only config really required for postfix to relay via a smart relay is to add the relayhost in (It can workout myhostname etc itself). So by default your postfix install on the LTM SHOULD be able of sending email direct to destination.... This assumes you have DNS resolving configured of course.

 

 

I don't recall seeing anything in the postfix config that would stop it from doing so... Try it by sending an email from the command line and then checking the postfix output in /var/log/maillog. (You may have to bump up the log level in syslog-ng.conf though from notice..emerg to info..emerg) before you get anything really meaningful except errors.
