Worked just fine. One TCPIP SET SERVICE and one ENABLE SERVICE did it.

Now, it seems as the root problem is solved anyway. Is was some
display-trouble (Outlook displaying all headers as part of the body)
caused be missing Date: and/or Message-Id: headers.

Adding them seems to have solved the display trouble.

Thanks anyway, and now I know how to setup a second smtp service :-)
