Looks like msmtp package comes without init.d script. Check out 
https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc service-script-guide.md, 
supervise-daemon-guide.md, user-guide.md and man pages in openrc-doc, 
look at existing /etc/init.d scripts than write one yourself and 
contribute it to alpine (see 
https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Creating_an_Alpine_package).
