Just start and stop the service; not restart the whole box.  Yes,
anytime you make a change to the smtp virutal you should stop,
start...only way to be sure (well, that and nuking from orbit).

Don't think you need the restart... Then again, last I did that, was on
a 2k3 box (the M-Sexchanged admin was on vacation... Grmbl...:).
Other than that, it sounds about right. Browse about in the admin tool,
it ain't that complex:-):-).
