Sounds like something is restarting smartd... and in particular,
starting it with -M test. Is it about the same time every day?
Probably worth checking cron.daily. If there's nothing there it might
be triggered by logrotate or something along those lines. Taking the
-M test out of smartd startup should stop the daemon from sending that
test mail if you'd rather never see them.
