Per the V5.7 release notes:

TCPIP$SMTP.CONF can also be used to configure the trace and debug
parameters, but the precedence will be changed.

The existing configuration based on logical names and TCPIP> SET 
CONFIGURATION
SMTP is obsolete. The SMTP rollover tool, TCPIP$SMTP_V57_ROLLOVER.EXE,
can be used to upgrade the TCP/IP software to Version 5.7. Up on upgrade,
the SMTP startup procedure will automatically change over to new ASCII
file based configuration method. It creates the TCPIP$SMTP.CONF file
in the TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON directory. Up on successful rollover,
SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$SMTP_V57_ROLLOVER.FLG is created.
Include the appropriate SMTP parameters in this file. The configuration 
template
file, TCPIP$SMTP.CONF_TEMPLATE, contains the description of all SMTP
configurable parameters and its usage.
