Just use the TCPIP> utility to define a new service.

Do a show service SMTP with all the defails and just create a new
service based on those details, with different log files and different port.

Remember to make this a permanent definition, and you can also define
the service to "autostart" in the permanent definitions. I forgot the
exact syntax.

There is a caveat however: the TCPIP$SMTP_RECEIVER.EXE  *might* be
hardcoded to use port 25. On the other hand, this exec doesn't run 7/24,
it is an "on demand" type of service where the image is invoked bt the
TCPIP kernel when a call to 25 comes in.

You will not be able to have a different config (SMTP.CONFIG) unless you
play tricks with logical names so that the second instance gets to a
different logical name table.
