What version of TCPIP Services are you running?  I tried to get an
alternate port SMTP setup going years ago on an AlphaServer so I could
run the hobbyist Process anti-spam product on a single server, but
could never get proper behavior.  I think that was with V5.4-x.  If it
works now that provides for some interesting experimentation.
