You shouldn't configure SMTP for that.

You can either use some monitoring tool (for example Nagios) that will generate e-mail when a certain condition is met (file system is 90% full for example).
Or you can configure the syslog to send the messages to your mail. Read "man 5 syslog" for more details.

I guess you may setup a syslog server which receives all syslogs from the clients
